E.E. Barnard discovered IC 4567 on 20 Aug 1890 in a sextet (5 in IC) with the 12-inch refractor at Lick Observatory. He noted "not faint, round, gbM." and placed it accurately in his notebook sketch, though it was not published until 1906 (AN 4136).

400/500mm - 17.5" (6/27/98): last in the IC 4562 group. Appears fairly faint, elongated 3:2 NW-SE, 1.0'x0.7', broad concentration. Located 7' ENE of a mag 8.2 SAO 45639 and 2.4' W of a mag 11.5 star.
