From the appearance of this plate I know this is an object that I specially called Professor [[Pickering's?]] attention to. Other plates were to be examined but it unfortunately was overlooked. Professor Bailey consequently merits the credit of the discovery which he wishes to announce ^[[and which he made independently]] and my notes previously made may be used as confirmation.
