COMET AREND-ROLAND (1956h) displayed in late April a remarkable spike-like tail directed roughly towards the Sun. This tail developed from a diffuse fan-shape on April 22 to a long and narrow spike attaining its maximum reported length of 15° on April 25.9 U.T., according to the observation of Fogelquist1. By April 29 the sunward tail had essentially disappeared. Van Biesbroeck2 reported it as being a ``slender jet 4° long'' on April 24.1 and estimated a length of some 13° on April 25. No observations of length on April 26 are yet available to me, so it appears that the maximum extension of the sunward tail took place some time during April 25-26.
