Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
Swift found this nearby galaxy on 30 September 1890. He says of it, "eeeF, pS, v diff; np of [NGC] 660." His listed declination is identical to that of NGC 660, and there is nothing in that place. However, just 20 arcminutes north is a low-surface-brightness galaxy with the same redshift as NGC 660 matching Swift's description. In particular, it is "np of 660" rather than being "on the parallel" as Swift might have described it had it been straight west as his position implies. As far as I have seen, the correction first appeared in Dorothy Carlson's 1940 collection of corrections to the NGC and ICs. There is no doubt that this is Swift's object.
