Observations of Nebule and Clusters of Stars. 
Mr. Stoney suspected two branches from n and f ‘side, joined into one 
branch sf. 
1855, May 10. The n one suspected spival as before, the s one is, I think, 
1 E ns, and the * bet the two neb is D? 
1856, Mar. 29. s neb 8, bM, n one suspected spiral as before, but very uncer- 
tain, it is a difficult object and requires a fine night.

3696 and 5'+ s, it is v F, m Ens witha * 13m nf and aS group of F st

to be a v F and very aiiPnsed neb¥ close sf 3704, which sometimes made the 
neb look double. (II. obs.) 
3710 1707= | 1861, Apr. 12. pL, E, irr; Nucl like a dull *; sharp on p and sp edges, at 
It, CLG the other sides it fades off very gradually, it may be a spiral. (1. obs.)

oUMe ae | 1851, Mar. 9. 1710 seems a * followed by a F, R neb with F Nucl. About 
89 || 90!nf is a * and S$ neb [h 1716] and also aS neb a little sp this * [h 1715 
al Eire t G. C. 3729, R. nova, may be struck out]. ; 
3795 | 171¢6— | 1861, Mar. 17. Found a dull * 10m with F', Rneb f, containing one or two v F 
TIL. 547 J st [1710]. (II. obs.)

1856, May 3. bMN, perhaps E np sf. 
1878, Apr. 1. 1E unp ssf, fades gradually away. Like a ray witha B oval 
centre ; soft Nucl. Group of 4 st 6'+ spp (3 of 11m and central one of 
13:14m). (V. obs.) 
3716 1712— | 1873, Apr. 18. Esp nf, * 12m n, Dist. 265"-4. 
1.187 | 1877, May 4. pB, m E 41°°9, sbMBN, both ends rather F, not traced very far, 
perhaps not well seen. Lord Rosse suspected an elliptic ring round it, 
| separated from it by a dark interval?? (LI. obs.) 
3717 1713 1854, Apr. 24. Centre pB; oval ns, among sev st. I thought the n end the 
| broader and suspected a dark space p Nucl. A p B patch of neby np. 
1854, May 1. Singular object ; the main body of neb has a B Nucl and is 
| Ens, the southern end bends back suddenly at a sharp angle and extends 
np past the neb, ending in a B, R patch or Nucl. 3 st around the neb. 
| 1855, Feb. 19. Neby seems to reach the knot np. There is a knot or * in the 
arm p and some condensation in the centre of neb. I think F neby reaches 
up to the * n. 
1855, Apr. 17. Mr. J. Stoney saw the p branch extend round the s end of the 
main neb and continued on to n, when after a second turn it joined the 
Nucl. (See P. T. 1861, pl. XXVIIL., fig. 30; on this and several other 
engrayings the stars are much too large, see P. T. 1861, p. 745.] (VI. obs.) 
3718 1714= | 1855, Feb. 19. pB, R,bMN. (III. obs.)

3749 | 1736 | 1864, Apr. 11. vB in centre, E spnf, * inv p centre ; the latter looks spark- 
I. 230 ling at times. (I. obs.) 
3750 | 1734— | 1852, Apr. 10. A * bet them. I think the n neb [h 1734] has mottled neby 
IT. 309 round it, 
3751 | 17385= rly 1855, Apr. 18. The n one is spiral? 3st in it. To myself it appeared to have 
IT. 310 J a single branch from below [np] the Nucl running round the nf edge.
