Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 4367 is probably the double star near d'A's position. In his description,
d'A has this 35 seconds following a brighter nebula also found by him. That
nebula is NGC 4351, and the separation is correct. Also, d'A has two
accordant observations of N4367, so it is reasonably clear that he saw a real
object, nebulous or not.
The second of the two stars is quite faint, though. This may account for
Frost's not finding any nebulosity at d'A's position on a 4-hour Bruce plate.
Dreyer, in an IC2 note, has this nebula among several that Frost did not find.
