Number 88 in the Herschel 400 list is NGC 2335. This is a moderately large and scattered open cluster in Monoceros containing mostly rather faint stars. The size given in the table above was taken from "The Sky", however I feel sure that this is an underestimation, given its appearence in the above image.
