Corwin's Notes

===== NGC 4167 = NGC 4163. JH first suggested the identity of his h1118 with his father's H III 399 in his 1833 catalogue -- it is clinched by the existence of the bright double star (SAO 62887/8) 10 arcmin southwest of the galaxy; JH mentions the double in his description. His position is exactly 20 arcmin off; when that is taken into account, his position falls close to his father's place for the galaxy.
