Scientific paper

ON the 6th inst., with a power of 38 on a 4¼-inch refractor, I observed that this comet had a distinct, though very faint, tail, at a position-angle of about 85° length 13½'. The radius of the coma was about 3'. I thought I could see the tail on the 1st inst., but was not quite sure of it then. The comet's spectrum strikes me as less distinct than is the case with most comets. On the 1st inst. I could only see two bright lines (or bands) certainly; and the less refrangible of these was very faint. I suspected a third band towards the more refrangible end of the spectrum.
