    The examination of the eletronic tables in the original catalogs or
papers has shown that there are indeed multiple entries under the same
name.  Perhaps the best thing to do is to ask the SIMBAD and CDS people
how they selected one of them from the original catalogs, and ask them
to reflect corrections (if any) to the CDS electronic catalogs.  Would
you please send the table of candidate corrections to them and ask
confirmation?
