IC 419, IC 425, and IC 439 were all found by Wolf on a Heidelberg plate. IC 419 is only a line of 4 stars about 1' long (and matches Wolf's description in this respect). IC 425 and IC 439 are probably defects on the Heidelberg plate as no nebulae matching Wolf's descriptions are in this area of the sky.
