What you're seeing there is the default object representation. It isn't actually quoting an address but an "identity number". The only meaning of that number is that it's unique [1]; so if you see the same number come up twice in the list, you can be confident that the list has two references to the same object. Beyond that, it basically tells you nothing. So you know what kind of object it is, but anything else you'll have to figure out for yourself.
