I SEND you a sketch of Brooks' comet, in which an attempt is made to represent a remarkable change which took place in the comet about January 13. On that evening the well-defined and almost circular envelope which is represented in the figure was entirely wanting when the comet was seen on previous occasions. The nucleus was much more condensed and star-like than at any time before. The envelope was of nearly uniform brightness, with a perfectly denned outline, which was easily measured. It seemed to be produced by two fan-shaped emanations from the nucleus, which, curving backward toward each other, met at the outer edges, leaving a darker elliptical space on each side of the nucleus, the space on the north side being the darker, and the preceding fan-shaped portion having an extension on the north side. A line drawn through the middle of the dark spaces would be perpendicular to the axis of the tail.
