IC 5200 (= PGC 68660)
Discovered (Aug 21, 1900) by DeLisle Stewart
A magnitude 15.3 spiral galaxy (type SA(r)c?) in Tucana (RA 22 22 15.2, Dec -65 45 58)

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, IC 5200 (DeLisle Stewart #747, 1860 RA 22 12 02, NPD 156 27) is "most extremely faint, extremely small, round, faint star 1 arcmin to northwest".
Physical Information: Apparent size 0.7 by 0.4 arcmin. Distance (and therefore actual size) unknown.

IC 5201 (= PGC 68618)
Discovered (1900) by Joseph Lunt
A magnitude 10.8 spiral galaxy (type SB(rs)cd?) in Grus (RA 22 20 57.4, Dec -46 02 09)

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, IC 5201 (Lunt (#4), 1860 RA 22 12 44, NPD 136 46.0) has "no description". The position precesses to RA 22 21 19.7, Dec -46 03 52, about 4.2 arcmin southeast of the nucleus of the galaxy listed above, but there is nothing else nearby and the galaxy is far larger than the distance between it and Lunt's position, so the identification is certain.
Physical Information: Based on a recessional velocity of 915 km/sec (and H0 = 70 km/sec/Mpc), IC 5201 is about 40 to 45 million light years away, further than redshift-independent distance estimates of 13 to 35 million light years, but the same as the "over 40 million" light year distance quoted in the press release for the HST image below. Given that and its apparent size of about 9.0 by 3.8 arcmin (from the images below), it is about 110 to 115 thousand light years across. Since the galaxy is relatively close, the HST image can show individual stars in the galaxy, as well as clusters of stars and star-forming regions.

WORKING HERE: need to clean-up PanSTARRS image
IC 5204 (perhaps (??) = NGC 7298, or NGC 7300 (and if = NGC 7300, also = PGC 69040 = PGC 930291 = MCG -02-57-011)
Recorded (Aug 8, 1896) by Lewis Swift (and later listed as IC 5204)
Either a lost or nonexistent object in Aquarius (RA 22 20 41.7, Dec -14 23 59)
or if = NGC 7300, a magnitude 12.9 spiral galaxy (type SB(s)b?) in Aquarius (RA 22 30 59.9, Dec -14 00 13)

Historical Identification: Per Dreyer, IC 5204 (Lewis Swift list XI (#212), 1860 RA 22 13 10, NPD 105 06.1) is "very faint, very much extended." The position precesses to RA 22 20 41.7, Dec -14 23 59 (whence the position shown above), but there is nothing there nor near there, so the most reasonable conclusion is that IC 5204 is "lost or nonexistent".
Argument In Favor of Duplicate Observation of NGC 7300: Per Corwin, Swift found this on the same night that he found IC 5228 (= NGC 7302), and describes it as "very faint, extremely extended, a ray; preceding (western) of 2," the other presumably being IC 5228, since his description for that reads "pretty bright, pretty small, round; bright star near to south; following (eastern) of 2," which would suggest that IC 5204 is the western member of the supposed pair. There is no doubt that IC 5228 = NGC 7302, because the positions match to within 10 seconds of time, and there is nothing else nearby that could be Swift's object. The bright star is there, and NGC 7302 is a "following of 2" with the preceding object possibly being NGC 7300, which means that IC 5204 could be a duplicate entry for NGC 7300.
The problem is that Swift's position for IC 5204 is 10 minutes west and 20 arcmin south of NGC 7300, which would be an extremely poor position, even for Swift. Corwin's suggestion is that Swift made "simple digit errors" in his position, and that his "nova" was simply the bright inner part of NGC 7300. Gottlieb agrees with Corwin's argument and simple digit errors aren't rare, so although IC 5204 could be a lost or nonexistent object, it might be a duplicate entry for NGC 7300. But "might" is not the same as "certainly", so I have added a question mark to that suggestion.
(Weak) Argument In Favor of Duplicate Observation of NGC 7298: Thinking in terms of "simple digit errors", the most common is a change of 1 unit, and we could apply such a change to the 10's values in both of Swift's positions (Corwin points out that both the RA and Dec would have to be changed to fit NGC 7300, by 10 minutes for the RA, and 20 for the Dec). Perhaps instead of having different "simple digit errors" in each position, we should alter both values by only 1 unit. In that case Swift's position for IC 5204 (1900 RA 22 25 19, Dec -14 54.1) would become RA 22 15 19, Dec -14 44.1, which precesses to (2000) RA 22 30 39.9, Dec -14 13 21, which lies only 2.8 arcmin west-southwest of NGC 7298, lies only 4 arcmin south of IC 5228 (which would fit the concept of sweeping along a parallel of declination by letting the sky move past the telescope's target just as well as for NGC 7300), and is fainter than IC 5228, which fits Swift's description of being fainter than NGC 7302, but does not fit his description of IC 5204 being extremely extended. So although the wide-field image below shows NGC 7298 as well as NGC 7300 and 7302, and there is an extremely remote possibility that IC 5204 is NGC 7298, although in an earlier version of this entry I attached (= IC 5204?) to the image of NGC 7298, I have decided to remove that suggestion.
Conclusion: Given the fact that in the NGC Swift lists two galaxies in the region, and there are two galaxies in the region that fit his description (though not his positions), it is hard to believe that he actually only saw one. So although it is possible that IC 5204 is "lost or nonexistent", as shown above, odds are that it is NGC 7300, as also shown, albeit with a question mark.
Physical Information: If IC 5204 is lost or nonexistent, there is nothing to say; but if, as seems possible (albeit unlikely), it is NGC 7300, then see that for anything more.

IC 5210 (= PGC 68674)
Discovered (Aug 8, 1896) by Lewis Swift
Also observed (1899?) by Herbert Howe
A magnitude 13.0 lenticular galaxy (type E/S0??) in Aquarius (RA 22 22 31.1, Dec -18 52 09)

Discovery Notes: It appears that Swift accidentally reversed the descriptions of his #213 and 214, placing the description of the western galaxy with the entry for the eastern one, and vice-versa. Dreyer must have used Howe's observations to correct the positions and positional description, but did not correct Swift's physical/field descriptions, which should have read "most extremely faint, very small, round" for IC 5211, and "extremely faint, small, north of and near to easternmost star of 7 in an east-west line" for IC 5210.
