Corwin's Notes

=====

NGC 4381 = NGC 4357.  The equality was suggested by Dreyer, and confirmed by
Bigourdan who did not find N4381, but who did discover N4357 and made eight
observations of it on two different nights.  Dreyer suggests a simple 1 minute
error in WH's RA.  Since the descriptions match, the identity is almost
certain.
