IC 4369, IC 4370, and IC 4371 are three of the galaxies in Hickson's compact group number 70. They do not include the brightest galaxy in the group, but Javelle saw that as a 14th magnitude star near IC 4370. His micrometrically measured positions, re-reduced using a modern position for his comparison star, accurately point to the galaxies he did see.
The identifications have been mangled badly in the modern literature, but Javelle's positions are definitive.
