Observing Notes
Harold Corwin
IC 788 = NGC 4405. This identity was first suggested at Harvard, probably by Frost or Ames during their work on the Virgo Cluster. That it is, in fact, correct is shown when Javelle's observation is carefully reduced -- the resulting position lands exactly on N4405.
Javelle also makes no mention of the NGC galaxy in his list, but does say in a footnote, "Distinct from the nebula which carries the no. 21 in the 7th Catalogue of L. Swift." That 21st nebula is IC 787. So, the note in the IC "II 88 [N4405] south" is almost certainly Dreyer's based only on the relative positions that he had in front of him.
In any case, the identity was adopted in CGCG and MCG, so has found its way into the modern catalogues.
