Scientific paper

ON February 11, 10h. to 10h. 35m., I re-observed this object with powers of 40 and 60 on my newly-silvered 10-inch reflector. The comet was in the same field as β Trianguli and south preceding that star. I found it fairly conspicuous. The nucleus, or brighter portion of the head, presented a distinctly granulated appearance. Applying a power of, single lens, I saw that it really consisted of a number of very small knots of nebulosity, so closely approximating the stellar form that they might readily have been mistaken for one of the very faint, barely resolvable clusters in which the components are only to be caught by glimpses. The multiple nucleus was involved and surrounded with feeble nebulosity, and a faint tapering tail flowed from it in N.E. direction. I believe that outlying this there was an excessively faint fan-shaped tail, hut could not be absolutely certain.
