JH's observations disagree with JD's 'Catalogues of Nebulae and Double Stars' [observed at Paramatta, Australia]. Believes errors lie in JD's work. Will send copy of JH's catalogue as soon as it is printed. [8pp of notes extracted by JH from JD's catalog; 7 pp of JH's comments, written in another hand, about these notes.]
