See IC 4339. It is worth noting here that Javelle mentions the 12th magnitude star to the northwest in his description: "Faint, small, nearly round, 20 to 25 [arcseconds in diameter], mottled, near a star of 12th magnitude." We had mistakenly taken this star to be IC 4339 for some time.

Per Dreyer, IC 4341 (= Javelle #1278, 1860 RA 13 47 32, NPD 51 46.3) is "faint, small, round, mottled but not resolved, 12th magnitude star near". The position precesses to RA 13 53 34.8, Dec +37 32 16, less than an arcmin north of the galaxy listed above, and the nearby star makes the identity certain. (The star was recorded by Javelle the next night as his #1276, which was listed by Dreyer as IC 4339, and presumably as a result of their proximity, that entry is sometimes misidentified as a duplicate of IC 4341, hence the warning above.)
