NGC 6118. - No velocity was known for this galaxy, but the HII regions appear on the lambda6607 photographs and to a lesser extent on the lambda6563 thus indicating a velocity of about +1800 km s-1. The surface brightness of this galaxy is low and the dust difficult to detect. If the velocity is approximately correct, this galaxy has a diameter about 24 kpc (with H = 75 km s-1 Mpc-1).
