IC 1826 = IC 1830. Swift's RA is 40 seconds too small, but his declination and description are good. Stewart's position is good, but he found the object on only one plate so marked it "susp"[ected only]. He also notes the star 1.5 arcmin to the southwest as "eF"; Swift's estimate of 8 is much closer to the truth. In any event, the identity is sure because of Swift's note about the star.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
