Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 3847 is just where JH put it, in spite of the note in IC2.  Wolf chose the
wrong galaxy for N3847 (his object is actually IC 2952); coincidentally, the
difference in declinations is just 10 arcmin.  See also NGC 3855 where I 
suggest that this galaxy might also be NGC 3856.
