IC 4411 is probably a plate defect. The faint spindle suggested in ESO-B is much fainter than any other galaxy that Stewart found on the 1hr Bruce plate, and its position is well off (-1m 38s, -5.5 arcmin). All the other IC galaxies on the plate -- save one with a 10 arcmin declination digit error -- are within an arcminute of their nominal positions. There are no galaxies with digit errors that could be IC 4411, either.

We need to check the Bruce plate, presumably still at Harvard.
