Analysis of a blue light electrograph of the field of NGC 1199, taken with the 9-cm McMullan electronographic camera on the 1.5-m Danish reflector at La Silla, is presented. That analysis indicates that the dark halo, reported by Arp (1978) to surround the high-velocity compact object SW of NGC 1199, does not exist down to an intensity level of about 1 percent of the background light from NGC 1199 plus the night sky. In consequence, there is no reason to suppose that the compact object is not located beyond NGC 1199 at a distance given by its redshift. The reasons for Arp's apparent detection of the dark halo are investigated, and the structure of the compact object is briefly discussed.
