1855, Dec. 7. This neb. reaches in length through at least a field and a half of 
finder-eyepiece [39']. Mr. Stoney’s drawing leaves out a great deal of the 
neby. about the centre, * susp. to left of centre of the trapezium of st, 
perhaps others also. 
1857, Nov. 15. Three st about the principal Nucl. 
1857, Dec. 7. Carefully observed with a view to a new sketch. 
1857, Dec. 18. Sketch proceeded with. [See P. T. 1861, Pl. XXVL.,, fig 10.] 
1862, Dec. 11. The published sketch contains only the B portions, np edge 
fades gradually away, I traced it very nearly up to * 7. (XXXII. obs.) 
354 III. 432 | 1877, Nov. 6. Searched for 20' sf 351, doubtful whether found, perhaps it was a 
v F stellar object 23’ s of a * 13 m and about 6's of a * 10 mag. (I. obs.) 
357 R. Nova. | 1850, Nov. 29. AS neb. or Cl. with 3 st in it. It is about 8’ ssp a * whose 
components are of the 11m. R A 1" 26™+ N PD 60° 35'+. (I obs.) 
359 134 1854, Oct. 26. Both B, 8, R. 
362 135= ¢| 1873, Oct. 11. Pos. 71°-6 (2), Dist. 318"-1 (2); a * south of p neb. in Pos. 
III. 174 J 149°-9. 
1876, Nov. 17. Both pB, psmbM. Pos. 72°-9 (3). Dist. 306'-9 (3). New 
spider-line-micrometer used for the first time. (IV. obs.) 
364 136 Looked for 5 times (between 1848 and 1864), not found. 
[Never found by d’Arrest. Schénfeld has observed it twice and his position agrees 
perfectly with that of the Gen. Cat.; he calls it v S, about 6”, = * 13 m. 
It is probably nothing but a *] 
372 142 1848, Dec. 13. Rough sketch made ; spiral ? 
1848, Dec. 15. Confirmed last night’s observation ; feel confident it is a spiral. 
1851, Oct. 24. Centre formed of st easily seen to be such, sev. st 
throughout the neb., whose spirality would have been overlooked, 
had it not been previously seen. 
1875, Oct. 22. B, L, seen through very thick haze. * 11:12 m in 
Pos. 235°°6 (4), Dist. 188'"8 (4). Sev. other st near. (X. obs.) 
1856, Oct. 3. F,v 8S, R, bM, * close to n edge. 
375 143 1877, Oct. 30. pF, pS, iR, mbM, * 13m. Pos. 25°-2, Dist. 195”. Badly 
seen. (IIT. obs.) 
385 M. 76 1866, Oct. 15. Both vB and pS with details well worth careful examination. 
Lord Oxmantown thought they were knots in a curved neb. 
1866, Nov. 5. Remarkable object; a new spiral possessing details of interest. 
Previous observation as to form confirmed with some further particulars 
well seen in single lens. It consists principally of the two B knots which 
according to H. are the pair or double nebula, and a third much fainter knot 
p the other two. Form compared to a reaping hook. Sketched 7 
by Lord Oxmantown. The nebulosity terminates very suddenly on fOo 
the s edge where there is a star at GB (see diagram) probably distinct | - v 
from though very close to the nebulosity. A branch of nebulosity Ls * 
(0) in the f direction was suspected by both observers proceeding from 
between the two knots. There is a F star at y in the direction in which 
the nebulosity seems to point. This star is preceded by a much brighter 
one at a near to which are others. (II. obs.) 
387 145— | 1861, Sept. 10. Coarse Cl., a good many st 8m in it and some down to 
VII. 46 13m. (I. obs.)
