Albert Marth discovered NGC 7101 = m 448 on 3 Aug 1864 and noted "F, vS, R, stell." There is nothing near his position, but 6' due south is CGCG 402-012 = PGC 67118. This galaxy is the middle and easily the brightest of three on a line oriented northwest to southeast, so it's the most likely candidate.

RNGC, CGCG, PGC (and secondary sources such as Megastar) misidentify CGCG 402-012 as NGC 7100 (see that number for the identification) and the RNGC and PGC (as well as Megastar) misidentify PGC 67112 as NGC 7101. PGC 67112 is the northwest galaxy in the trio (2.3' from NGC 7101).

400/500mm - 17.5" (8/2/86): fairly faint, very small, round, broad concentration. Located 20' SSW of EE Pegasi.
