1852, Apr. 9. Light patched and irregular, without any definite arrangement, 
1862, March 21. A lL, F and much mottled ray, 3 st inv. Near p end is a *

1874, March 9. Pos. of E77°:2. Central * to condensation p Pos. 258:°7, 
Dist. 843. (VII. obs.) 
1852, April 11. Scarcely seen in wretchedly

1848, Mar. 5. Two dark and v L spots in middle. Lord R. thought that the 
sky all round the edge was of a deep jet black colour, gradually diminishing 
in blackness as the distance from the neb. increased. 
1848, Mar. 11. Brilliant * in the centre. After 5™ observation detected the 
* to the right, which Dr. Robinson immediately saw. Round each * seems 
a black space. 
1848, Mar. 25. Resolution apparent, only middle *seen. The spiral shape only 
seen at one clear interval. 
1848, Mar. 26. Seen better than last night. 2nd * seen at frequent intervals 
with 8 st appearing now and then through the neb. part. Spiral arrangement 
hardly perceptible, though much better than last night (seen best on Mar. 11). 
1848, Mar. 27, 28, 31, Apr. 1. Not well seen, 2nd star only seen at rare 
intervals. Spirals very faintly or not at all. 
1848, Apr. 3. S * seen plainly enough. Spirals tolerably well brought out, 
definition sharp. 
1850, Mar. 9. S * barely vis. for a moment. Uncertain measure of its Pos. 
from the central star 331°°5 (Lord R). 
Between 1850, Mar. 15, and 1858, Mar. 8, viewed 18. times, S * not seen nor 
minute details. 
1858, Mar. 11. vy F* once suspected almost p the central *, but very uncertain. 
2nd * not seen. 
1858, Apr. 3. Suspected * (see last obs.) not verified. A very minute * sf the 
middle one, just on the outer edge of dark hole, was more strongly sugested, 
1863, Feb. 12. One star plainly seen, and at moments I fancied I saw a * nf it 
and one in sf edge, but only by glimpses. I have the merest suspicion of 
one in np edge. 
1868, Feb. 15. * in centre, one on cross-bar near n extremity, susp. comp”. to 
central *. § * on sf edge of f hole and sev others susp. at moments. 
1868, Feb..28. Comp". susp p central *. 
1872, Mar. 12. *nf from central *. Pos. 22°-9 (3), Dist. 1576 (3). No 
other st distinctly seen, power 414, possibly one or two e F st f the central 
one, on the edge of the hole. 
1874, Mar. 9. Minor axis Pos. 41°-4 (2). Diam. 1477-4 (2).
