IC 3026 must be a defect on the 1-hour Harvard plate, number 3703. There is nothing in its position and Stewart notes that IC 764 is "p 0.3 min, n 11 arcmin" which is correct. Stewart also lists IC 764 in his table where it has similar offsets (0.4 minutes west, 12 arcmin north), so it is clear that he has the position of IC 3026 correct. For the record, Dreyer correctly copies Stewart's position and description into the second IC.

All this can be checked if the plate still exists at Harvard.
