IC 1001, IC 1002, and IC 1003. Javelle had trouble in this field on the one night he observed it, 29 June 1892; he misidentified his two comparison stars. Once those are found, however -- the correct stars are BD+6 2873 for IC 1001 and IC 1002, and BD+5 2873 for IC 1003 -- his reduced positions fall within 5-6 arcsec of the modern positions for the galaxies. He also notes a "very small" star attached to IC 1003; this is correct for his galaxy, UGC 9190 = CGCG 047-024.

For the record, IC 1001 = CGCG 047-014, and IC 1002 = CGCG 047-015.
