There are 4 other NGC objects credited to Schultz by Dreyer, but they are found earlier by others. Thre are due to Lord Rosse III: NGC 20 (which is also Swift's NGC 6) and NGC 90 are galaxies in Andromeda, NGC 7553 is a galaxy in Pegasus. The fourth object, the galaxy NGC 7571 in Pegasus, found by Schultz on autuum 1867 (ref. 3; see also notes to h 2219) is identical with NGC 7597, discovered by Marth on Oct. 23, 1864.
