IC 4300 (= PGC 47912 )
Discovered (1903) by
Stephane Javelle
A 15th-magnitude elliptical galaxy (type E4) in Canes Venatici (RA 13 35 25, Dec +33 25 11)

Based on recessional velocity of 12090 km/sec, about 540 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 0.17 by 0.17 arcmin, about 25 thousand light years in diameter.

IC 4301 (= PGC 47936 )
Discovered (1896) by
Stephane Javelle
A 15th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type Sbc?) in Canes Venatici (RA 13 35 36, Dec +33 22 28)

Apparent size 1.15 by 0.35 arcmin; apparently nothing else available.

IC 4302 (= PGC 47935 )
Discovered (1896) by
Stephane Javelle
A 15th-magnitude edge-on spiral galaxy (type Sc) in Canes Venatici (RA 13 35 36, Dec +33 28 46)

Based on recessional velocity of 7465 km/sec, about 330 million light years away, in reasonable agreement with redshift-independent distance estimates of 360 to 390 million light years. Given that and apparent size of 1.5 by 0.25 arcmin, about 150 thousand light years in diameter.

IC 4304 (= PGC 47980 )
Discovered (1896) by
Stephane Javelle
A 14th-magnitude spiral galaxy (type Sab) in Canes Venatici (RA 13 35 58, Dec +33 25 48)

Based on recessional velocity of 7615 km/sec, about 340 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 1.3 by 0.55 arcmin, about 130 thousand light years in diameter.

IC 4305 (= PGC 47981 )
Discovered (1896) by
Stephane Javelle
A 14th-magnitude elliptical galaxy (type E5) in Canes Venatici (RA 13 35 58, Dec +33 28 26)

Based on recessional velocity of 7365 km/sec, about 330 million light years away. Given that and apparent size of 0.95 by 0.65 arcmin, about 90 thousand light years in diameter.
