Corwin's Notes
=====
NGC 4610 = NGC 4470. Dreyer, in his notes in the Scientific Papers, shows
convincingly that H II 19 = N4610 is the same galaxy as NGC 4470, and that WH
himself was at least aware that he had made a mistake in identifying one of
Messier's nebulae in the Virgo Cluster. Dreyer reproduces one of WH's
sketches of the I 7 and II 19 field -- it matches the appearance of M 49, an
accompanying star, and NGC 4470 perfectly.
