Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 4354 = NGC 4351. Swift's position is only 5 seconds of time following
N4351, and his note "in vacancy" makes the identity virtually certain. Had
there been another galaxy nearby, Swift would have noted that instead.
The identity was first suggested in one of the Harvard papers (Dreyer has an
IC2 Note that Frost did not find the object on a 4-hour plate), and was copied
into Carlson's 1940 paper. RC1 and RNGC picked it up from there.
