A thorough discussion of "pre-discovery" observations of Antlia is provided by Aparicio et al (1997a).  mMarconi et al (1990) claimed that the original position of DDO 210 (Fisher & Tully 1975) was significantly in error. However, Lo et al (1993) noted that the original position seemed to be correct, and Marconi et al (1995) subsequently agreed. The position listed here corresponds to the original one from Fisher & Tully (1975).  nTucana was known prior to its rediscovery by Lavery & Mighell (1992), who thoroughly document all listings of the galaxy in earlier catalogs. Lavery & Mighell (1992) did first claim Tucana to be a possible Local Group member.
