WHILE sweeping the northern sky at 11h. 35m. on the night of July 23, with a 10-inch reflector, power 40, I found a nebulous object near θ and ζ Ursæ Minoris, which I could not identify. It was faint, round, about 1' in diameter, and with a very slight central condensation. I noted its position relatively to the stars near, but clouds then came over and prevented further observations for nearly an hour. On reobserving the object I found it to be a comet, a considerable displacement having occurred in its position.
