NGC 4228 = NGC 4214.  The equality was first implied by d'A, and later taken
up at Lick, by Reinmuth, Carlson, and in RC1 and RNGC.  The problem is simply
an error of 1 minute of time in JH's position for the galaxy the first time he
saw it (Sweep 72).  He got it right the second time (Sweep 331).
 - Dr. Harold G. Corwin, Jr.

As with all corrections to the NGC and IC Catalogues, there is a certain margin
for error, even though the evidence supporting the correction may be strong and
compelling. It is with this in mind that we ask the user to use this information
as 'Most Probable', but never to assume the correction is 'Absolute'.  All
published corrections are based on an exhaustive 'paper chase' of the historical
record back to the original discoverer's published notes/papers, and are
therefore based upon the historical accuracy (or inaccuracy) of those particular
notes/papers. In short, Caveat Emptor! - Robert E. Erdmann, Jr.
