Various forms of the Messier catalogue have been given, notably by Owen Gingerich
(Sky and Telescope, Vol. XIII, p. 158 [1954]) and R.H. Garstang (BAA Handbook, p. 63
[1964]). Five additions were made, all objects observed by the French astronomer
Mchain, and these are often included in the catalogue: M.105 (elliptical galaxy in Leo),
M.106 (spiral galaxy in Canes Venatici), M.107 (globular in Ophiuchus), and M.108 and
109 (spiral galaxies in Ursa Major).
M.40 is not identifiable; it may simply be a couple of faint stars, or it may have been a
comet. M.91 is also an absentee, and this too may have been a comet, though Gingerich
suggests that it may be identical with M.58. There is grave doubt about the identities of
M.47 and M.48; it has been suggested that M.47 is an open cluster in Argo Navis (Puppis)
and M.48 an open cluster in Hydra. M.102 may have been identical with M.101, or it
may possibly have been a faint spiral galaxy in Draco. Finally, M.73 consists of four faint,
unconnected stars and is not a true cluster or nebular object.
