Abstract
The first dedicated catalogue of southern double stars was published in 1829 by
James Dunlop. Basing our work solely on the published data, we present modern designations of the doubles listed by Dunlop in the Appendix. We find that of the 253 listed; 168 have discoverer codes in the WDS under "DUN"; 31 are listed under another discoverer code; 27 remain unidentified; 11 are single stars; 8 are double stars not in the WDS and 8 are multiple systems.
