Observations of Nebule and Clusters of Stars. 63 
G. C. | h, & H. | —== 
1856, Jan. 9. D * plain in sf edge. I think the 2 st suspected in 
p edge do exist and that their position is as given. The p edge 
is certainly brighter than the f one, centre also B, and on the 
whole I incline to think it curved as stated in former obs. 
(XVIL. obs.) 
1611 480= | 1849, Jan. 27. More approach towards spiral appearance than I 
VI. 37 have seen in any other Cl. Very curious black spaces with power 700. 
1851, Jan. 24. Some unresolvable milkiness about the central st, cellular 
appearance such as the great neb. in Orion might present if well resolved. 
Dark spaces remarkable. 
1852, Jan. 27. Smaller st so confused together as to give a neb. look to parts of Cl, 
1855, Feb. 16. The spiral appearance is confined to the brightest st. 
1856, Jan. 30. I think there is really no unresolved neby. Dark spaces in 
central part, not perfectly black? but filled in with v F st. (1X. obs.) 
1612 481= |1857, Jan. 20. * in n edge, centre r? 
II. 544 | 1866, Dec. 10. This seems something like a spiral with 3 knots. There is a * 
sp, to which I once suspected that the nebulosity extended. 
1866, Dec. 12. Confirmed in all respects the last observation. There are clearly 
two knots p and f and a third more distant s. The two first are perhaps a 
double nebula but I think more likely are connected by nebulosity which I 
have little doubt extends also to the third. The night was not good enough 
to see faint nebulosity. 
1867, Feb. 22.. The three knots well seen; Lord Oxmantown also saw them. 
The middle knot, a, is much the largest. a to knot s p, Pos.=223°-0; a to 
knot np 338°°0. a to a bright star Pos. 228°-9, Dist. 79-4. 
1876, Jan. 21. Doubtful shape, it consists perhaps of 2 Nuclei or “knots” ns 
and an e F * (minimum visibile) close sp. Perhaps the n nucl. is another F 
*, A *12m Pos. 231°-9 (3), Dist. 79-9 (3) from the L south Nucl. (not v | 
F) which is perhaps the only real one. (V. obs.) 
1614 489— |1857, Jan. 25. vF, R, bM, Nucl., suspect a * or patch sp Nucl. (I. obs.) 
III. 605 
1615 5 5A 1851, Jan. 31. 483 is bM, stellar point? Another 1'+ nf and 
1616 6/0 0 a 3rd vF 7'+ np. 
1617 483— ( 1851, Feb. 26. a fs Pos. 242° Dist. 168” 
| III. 512 ay 319 336 
[y=1615, B=1616, a=h 483]. 
1877, Feb. 15. 1615 is the faintest and most diffused, 1617 is 
larger and brighter than 1616. * 12 almost in the middle 
of the 3 neb. 
1617 to 1616 Pos. 243°-6 (2) Dist. 154"-4 (2) 
1617 to 1615 320°7 (2) 328-5 (2) (IV. obs.) 
1618 484 1852, Mar. 11. Has Nucleus. (I. obs.)

1618. 
1622 485 1874, Mar. 9. pF, pS, R, glbM, not fully examined. (Query 
16221) (1. obs.) 
1623 486=- | 1855, Feb. 16. vF, L, slightly oval, light mottled, F stellar 
Il. 877 point or Nucl, many stars near, 2 inv., one in p, another 
in f edge, others suspected in the neb. 
1856, Jan. 30. vF, L, oval. Sev. F st on edge, suspect 
others in the neb., also dark spaces. Nucl. or * in 
| centre? Spiral as in diagram.
