I am unable to identify any of these objects. II 2274 is described as "pB neb star with two spir branches''; this appears to be three small stars almost in contact. Most of the others appear to be simply very faint stars. The region was carefully checked. Examination with the slitless spectroscope shows no object with bright-line spectrum in this region. O s.n.
