Abstract
DISCOVERY OF A NEW NEBULA BY PHOTOGRAPHY—MM. Paul and Prosper Henry have recently announced the discovery by means of photography of a new nebula in the Pleiades. It was first photographed on November 16 last, and, though it was again photographed on December 8 and 9, MM. Henry have as yet been unable to detect it by direct telescopic observation. The nebula is about 3′ in extent, and “très-intense.” It presents a well-marked spiral form, and seems just to escape Maia. Its position is as follows:—R.A. 3h. 38m. 57s., Decl. 24° 1′ N.
