Not included are the Lacaille objects Bode lists separately for his chart No. 29, the southern sky after Lacaille. There he lists 26 objects, but has some repetitions from the above list, two positioned so far from Lacaille's that they cannot be safely related to Lacaille, and some not listed at all.
Bode organized his catalogs in constellations, roughly ordered by the charts on which he represents them. Constellations are those used by Bode at that time, 1782. In each constellaiton, he begins with the stars numbered with Flamsteed numbers (actually by Halley, and never approved by Flamsteed himself), followed by those discovered later by other observers, roughly in chronoligical order. Every object gets a number, nebulae and clusters are included in this numbering sequence together with ordinary or variable stars.
