The IC1 NPD is four degrees in error. This is either a typo that Dreyer did not catch during proof reading, or it is his own transcription error in copying the NGC Appendix objects into the IC: the NPD is correct in the Appendix (but "... very few people ever think of referring to an appendix.").

When the original position from Safford's report is used, it is clear that MCG-01-01-028 = A0002-07 in RC2 is the correct galaxy. In a footnote, Safford tells us that this object and four others (IC 138, IC 210, NGC 577, and NGC 7416) were "... found by A. N. Skinner, then [1867] assistant at Dearborn Observatory." This means that Skinner was actually the first to see all but NGC 7416; that was found just 2-3 years earlier by Marth.
