IC 736 and IC 737 are the two brightest galaxies in Hickson 59. They have been misidentified in several catalogues (including CGCG and Hickson's) in spite of the relatively good positions given in IC. Javelle discovered them on the same night and measured them with respect to the same star. Re- reducing his positions with respect to the AC 2000.2 position for that star removes all doubt about which galaxies he saw.
