Bailey found 12 IC-objects; only 1 was new: the reflection nebula IC 1995 in Taurus. The objects were found on plates for the Harvard all-sky map. They were taken with the 1" (f/13) Cook lens at Arequipa station and exposed 1 hour to search systematically for bright clusters and nebulae. All objects are listed in: Bailey, S. I., A Catalogue of Bright Clusters and Nebulae, Ann. Harv. Obs. 60, 199-229 (1908).
