NGC/IC Project Restoration Effort

===== NGC 4265 = NGC 4263. WH looked for his galaxy a second time, but could not find it. JH suggested that it might have been a comet. I doubt that Swift was aware of this -- his position is so close to WH's in the GC that he almost certainly just overlooked the GC entry. Howe settled the matter when he wrote in his second Monthly Notices paper, "I saw only one nebula here." Dreyer took this to heart and set the two numbers equal to one another in the IC2 Notes, in his 1912 Monthly Notices list of NGC corrections, and in a note in his edition of WH's Scientific Papers. Curiously, Dreyer seems to suggest that we use NGC 4265 instead of NGC 4263. I don't see why we should -- this is Swift's error, not WH's. Finally, I note that Bigourdan also looked for two galaxies here, but found only one. Unlike Dreyer, he adopts the number derived from WH's observation.
