IC 640 and IC 641 do not exist. Though Bigourdan has micrometric measurements for both of them -- four for IC 640 -- on 27 March 1887, he notes, in italics, "This is, without doubt, a false image" for both objects. The nominal positions are both near bright stars, about 15 arcmin apart. There are several galaxies in the area, but only NGC 3381 -- for which Bigourdan has separate measurements -- is bright enough to have been seen by him. I'm going to trust his comments and call both objects non-existent.― IC Notes by Harold Corwin
