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.
