Nothing in this position. The N. G. C. description is "cF, S, vS* att.'' There is a small, bright spindle at 12h 51m2, +3°19′, with a star of magn. 15 s.f. 0:8. Two very irregular, elongated, faint patches of nebulosity; both are probably exceedingly irregular spirals. Their centers are about 40" apart in p.a. 170°. The northern nebula is about 1' long; the southern 0:5, and their major axes are in position angles of approximately 60° and 160°, respectively. No certain evidence of any occulting effect due to overlapping. No nucleus discernible in either nebula. 17 s.n. Vol. VIII, Plate 45. The central portion of this fine nebula is very bright, and there is a bright, almost stellar nucleus. It is 8' x 4' in p.a. 110°. The whorls are rather compact, and of very uniform texture, without irregularities or condensations. The most striking feature of this spiral is the somewhat irregular, but very clear-cut, absorption area on the north of the nucleus. See Abs. Eff. 2 s.n. This region contains the most remarkable aggregation of closely packed small nebulae known to me. About thirty are catalogued in this area in the N. G. C., and some twenty-five more are given in N. G. C. II. In reality there are more than three hundred small nebulae in an area about 50' x 40', a large proportion of which are probably spirals. None of them are conspicuous objects. They are so numerous that it is very difficult to locate those catalogued in the N. G. C. with any certainty, except for a few of the brighter objects. See figure 3. 304 s.n.
