Frank Muller discovered NGC 667 = LM 2-318 in 1886 with the 26" refractor at the Leander McCormick Observatory. His position is 0.3' west and 2' south of ESO 477-002 = PGC 6418. A mag 10 star mentioned in his notes as 1.6' in PA 320° (NW) clinches the identification. Herbert Howe measured an accurate position in 1899-00 using the 20" refractor at Chamberlin Observatory (repeated in the IC 2 notes).

400/500mm - 17.5" (10/25/97): extremely faint, very small, round, 20" diameter, low surface brightness. Not seen with certainty at 220x and verified at 280x. Located 1.4' SE of a mag 12 star.
