This is a triple star at Bigourdan's measured place. Even though he describes it as a small cluster one night in December 1891, it appeared to him "clearly nebulous" on a second night in January 1897. He as six measurements of its position -- the avearge agrees almost perfectly with the modern mean position from the 2MASS PSC. Bigourdan also noted the brighter star 1.2 arcminutes to the west.
