Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 3899 = NGC 3912.  Though JH's position falls close to a very close double
star (merged on POSS1), it is more likely that his observation refers to NGC 
3912.  His descriptions are the same, and his position for N3899 is just 1 
minute of time west of N3912.  Reinmuth first suggested the identity.
