This description from the on-line Edward Emerson Barnard "A Photographic Atlas of Selected Regions of The Milky Way":

128
 α(2000)19h 01m 41s, δ(2000) -4° 35´
Galactic Coordinates 30, -4
Irregular, dusky, fairly well defined, diam. 10´. A narrow extension 13' long from the northeast side. A small star close southwest of it. This is in a larger vacant region.
131
 α(2000)19h 02m 16s, δ(2000) -4° 23
Galactic Coordinates 30, -4
Black spot, about 2´ x 4´. This is a very small back spot with a small star on the north border and another on the south; a fine curve of six or seven very small stars runs northwest from its north edge. It is located at the northeast end of the narrow extension from B 128.
