Obituary: MNRAS 87, 251 (1927); Obs. 49, 293 (1926); PASP 38, 400 (1926); Pop. Astr. 35, 325 (1927)
Dreyer found 20 NGC-objects; 17 were new. He also discovered IC 990, a
galaxy in Bootes. All objects were found with Lord
Rosse's 72" reflector at Birr Castle. 15 objects are non-stellar. Dreyer found most
of the galaxies in the NGC 4005-group at the border of Leo/Come Berenices.
NGC 3069 is IC 580 of Javelle and the galaxy NGC
3698 is NGC 3695, discovered by Ball
in 1867 with the 72".
