Astronomer Nicholas Mayall, of the Lick Observatory, writes to EPH, telling him that the recent meetings between their two observatories had been some of the most stimulating he can remember. Gerald Kron plans to obtain red magnitudes with his equipment, and Mayall asks EPH for a print of the Coma cluster with cataloged nebulae marked. He also notes that NGC 2805 and 3027 were the nebulae in the M81 group that he could not remember. He'll send measurements of them when he has them.
