This does not exist, though it was observed twice (six years apart, first in 1890) by Bigourdan near NGC 2618 (which also see). His micrometric observations are in agreement and are unambiguously referred to BD +01 2137. However, there are only a few vF stars near his place, and nothing at all that matches his description. The RA given in the IC, though correctly copied from the Comptes rendus paper, is wrong: it should read "08 28 51." In the end, however, this is apparently another of Bigourdan's "fausse images."
