G. Cc | h, & H. == 
2411 886—= | 1861, Mar. 6. I, E, probably remarkable, but clouds came on. 
T. 231 | 1868, Feb. 15. Sharper f than p, curved horn towards sf? Deep concavity on 
f side, points of light suspected on nucl. (IT. obs.) 
2413 887—= | 1849, Mar. 17. Dark space strongly suspected f middle. 
I. 194 | 1852, Mar. 19. f edge of centre best defined. 
1866, Mar. 18. Neby extending on between the two stars. Nucl v B, Ens. 
(IIT. obs.) 
2415 II. 886 | 1867, Mar. 1. Another neb. found together with 2421, which the notes describe 
as p F, pL, R, 1b M, f half a field of finder and about the same amount n of 
2421. Unless there be some mistake (f for p) this must be a nova, otherwise 
it must be 2415. A * near. 
1878, Aprill. p F,S,irr R, mottled, * ssp and * sf, both about 1lm. Nothing 
found 13’ fand 13’ n of 2421, evidently a mistake for 2415 in 1867. (II. 
obs.) | 
2419 | 891— }| 1851, Ap. 3. 891 has nuel., another v F neb. susp. 11'f and a little n. 
IT. 159 1856, Mar. 26. Of this group 894 is the largest and brightest, its light is patchy 
2422 893 and Lord Rosse saw a * in centre. 893 is like a distant cluster (Mr. Stoney), 
2423 | 894— 891 p B, R, bM. 
IT. 160 | | 1861, Mar. 14. 894 is pB, p L, bet 3 st. Fades off very gradually, probably a 
2427 | 898=— | cluster, as I saw sev stars in it. Sky clouded up. (YV. obs).

2421 892= | 1867, Mar. 1. pB, E, pS,1bM, perhaps Nucl. 
I. 246 | 1878, April 1. B, pL, ray mE 154°-7, g1bM, concave p? (IL. obs.) 
2424 895= | 1852, Ap. 10. gbM. 
II. 770 | 1856, Mar. 28. iR, sbMN, edge ragged. Is there a vF * n of the neb.? 
(LI. obs.) 
2425 896—= | 1852, Jan. 27. Neb. divided into two parts, F appendage np about one diam. 
I. 247 distant. 
1852, Ap. 15. Black line across, companion scarcely visible. 
1860, Feb. 12. At 30° 30'+ and f last [the neb. taken for 2408] about 1™ is 
another, E ns, the s end of which is terminated rather abruptly and is there 
brightest, fading off gradually ton end. The south end is also the broader. 
(IIT. obs.) 
2426 897= | 1857, Feb. 22. Slightly E spnf, gbM FN. I have a faint suspicion that it 
IT. 339 has a curve in it, like a right-handed spiral. 
1878, Mar. 24. p B, pL, oval, v F neby of irr shape around it, looks very r, 
EH 75°°1 ; * 10m. Pos. 170°-6, Dist. 282-4. (IV. obs.) 
2430 899 1867, Mar. 31. 3 F neb. forming a A certainly seen here and one or more susp. 
in the neighbourhood. There being no great difference of brightness it is not 
easy to see which is h 899. The 2 nf ones, Pos. 310°, Dist. 339". [5564 
and 5566. | 
1876, Mar. 18. vF, S,R,mbM, nnp is a pS, ee F neb. [=5564] in Pos. 
357°-2, Dist. 256-7. About 15' n and a few minutes f is another e F, vS 
neb. [5565] with ane F * 2’ sf. There may be a few other e e F neb. between 
these or near the latter, seen by glimpses and lost again (minima visibilia for 
the speculum now in use). [The 2 first neb. were seen in 1867.] (IL. obs.) 
2433 ar 1857, Mar. 23. F, E npsf, IbM, no nucleus. (I. obs.)
