This star is Bessel-Weisse I. 211, whence the place of the nebula is for 1860, A. R. 
1° 14" 105, N.P.D. 83° 43’ 11-2; whence the R.A. of the Gen. Cat. is about 
23" to small as already pointed out by d’Arrest (Cat. Havn. p 20). (I. obs.)

278 III. 156 neb. pF, 8 [272, 278, 289 and one “nova”]. About RA 1* 14™ and 
282 104 NPD 57° 29’ there is a group of 3, of which one, probably h108, is pB and 
R.movee pl [these are 291, 294, 295]. About RA 1°14™-5, and NPD 57° 17' 
289 106 there are 2 F, S neb. nearly equal, about 6’ asunder [299 and 301].

1862, Nov. 20. Sky very milky so that sketch requires to be veri- 
fied ; the circle represents field of eye-piece diameter 7'-5. The * 
8 mag is about 15’ due south of the last of the 3 neb. in 
sketch of Nov. 13. [The neb. in the sketch are 292, 294, 
and 295]. The neb. h 108 is, I suspect, a spiral. About b4 
2™ f and 2' n are 2 others about 2' apart, the n one is vv F; 
a little n of this again (5' about) is another 8, 1E, bM. 
[h 108—294, and is the middle neb. of the 3 in the circle; 
it seems therefore likely, that the observer has mistaken 
another neb. for h 108, probably 289=B, as he mentions aa 
the sketch of Nov. 13 as “sketch of 106 & 108.” The two neb. 2' apart 
would then be 299 & 301 and the neb. 5’ n of them a nova.
