1848, Dec. 15. 3 st near it. Showed it to Sir J. South. 
1848, Dec. 16. Sketches made by Lord R. and myself. 
1848, Dec. 19. Drawing confirmed. [P.T., 1850, Pl. XXXVIL, Fig. 13. ] 
1852, Sept. 16. Very fine night, freshly polished speculum which defines very 
sharply. Drawing made [P.T., 1861, Pl. XXX., Fig. 40]. In the figure in 
P.T., 1850, the outlying portions are parts of spiral branches. 
1856, Oct. 2. All the details of Mr. B. Stoney’s drawing very well seen by 
Lord R. and myself. 
1857, Oct. 16. The spiral arms and the * in centre distinctly seen. 
1872, Oct. 7. Moderately well defined, an outer F atmosphere; darker in the 
middle about the spiral. 
1873, Aug. 20. Has a * 13m in Pos. 244°-8, Dist. 46-6.

1873, Oct. 11. * 8m Pos. 80°-0 (3), Dist. 498-9 (2). Faintest of 3 st near 
[y], Pos. 14°:2, Dist. from limbs 82-1 and 51-2. Certainly no conspicuous 
Nucl. (XXXII. obs.) 
1857, Oct. 23. R, pB Nucl, I see a 8, vF neb about 6’ s, and this latter is fol- 
lowed by a D *. 
1875, Sept. 29. 4966 is pB, pS, Rh, gbMN, * 9:10m Pos. 264°-3 (3), Dist. 129-9 
(3) or p 8°80, 12"-9 s. Adopting the place of the * given in the Bonner 
Beob., vol. VI., we find the place of 4966 for 1860-0 23" 19™ 58*-28, 78° 18’ 
10”-6. 4967 is VF, 8, Pos. 150°-6 (2), Dist. 3521 (3) from 4966 or f 11°77, 
306’-8 s, whence the position for 1860-0 238 20™ 10:05, 78° 23/ 17”-4. 
1875, Nov. 26. Badly seen through clouds. 4966 to * 9:10m Pos. 264°:9 (4), 
Dist. 130-1 (4) or p 8°83, 11”°6 s. 
1876, Oct. 14. 4967 is vF, pL, R, vIbM, * 9m Pos. 313°:1 (3), Dist. 421”-1 (3) 
or 20°93 p, 287-8 n. (VII. obs.) 
1862, Sept. 30. Two neb p and f, p one is D ns, n component may be only a 
* enveloped in the neby ; f neb is 1K. (I. obs.) 
1850, Nov. 5. I saw 2 knots and a dark space between them. I think the neb 
is connected above the dark space. 
1850, Noy. 27. 2 knots seen nearly n and s and a dark space between. 
1851, Aug. 24. 2 knots and a dark space between, connected above by neby 
as in sketch. 
1854, Sept. 26. Certainly a spiral, some st at moments visible. 
1854, Oct. 17. Spirality distinctly seen. I thought the coil doubled in more 
closely upon itself than represented in drawing, and that the central knot 
had a stellar Nucl or *. The whole neb looked sparkling, though I could 
not see any separate st. [P. T., 1861, Pl. XXX., fig. 41.] 
1854, Nov. 22. Central Nucl stellar; the outer edge of the coil, just where it 
joins the external Nucl, seems brighter than the rest. 
1855, Oct. 15. Seen to be spiral as before. (XVII. obs.) 
1866, Sept. 9. cB,S, R, * in Pos. 51°, Dist. 73”, another * in Pos. 86°, Dist. 
82 Lon PRossallie Dis tan (ommm (letobss) 
1877, Nov. 2. pB, 8, irr R or 1E towards * n. No other neb near, Tempel’s 
and Secchi’s novee are therefore identical.
