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.

DESCRIPTION-(Continued)

Bright, small cluster 2' in diameter. Probably of globular type.
The nucleus is almost stellar, very bright, nearly equivalent to 10 magn. This
is surrounded by a bright central portion which shows traces of spiral forma-
tion. Outside of this is a vacant ring. The outer whorls form an oval
2:6 x 16, and these are brightest at the ends of the major axis.

what resembles the planetary type, and the observations of Messrs. Camp-
bell and Paddock show that the nucleus has bright lines in its spectrum.
It is undoubtedly a spiral, however. 40 s.n.

showing well in a 10m exposure, nucleus is not stellar. Well marked evi-

in this position. See Abs. Eff. 10 s.n.

the central portion of an edgewise spiral.

This is a small p-type nebulae with a fairly bright, almost stellar nucleus, and
