arp 259 is in the irregular clumps class. it's the group just south and
east of center. the atlas note is "material extends se toward peculiar
round spiral". the brightest clump is ngc 1741; all of the galaxies are
part of hickson galaxy cluster 31. the object just over 2' southeast which
looks like a slightly fuzzy star is ic 399. it isn't part of the arp
field but is probably the round spiral that dr. arp mentioned in his note.
