ON December 25, about 6h., with a binocular field-glass, power about 4, I noticed a third tail to this comet between the other two. It was extremely faint, but 6° long, reaching to 11 Aquilæ. The principal tail was reduced to 10° in length, and was far more conspicuous than this shorter, though much broader, tail. The shortest tail, though actually much brighter than this latter, was very indistinct with these field-glasses, being best seen with the telescope, power 20, whereas the middle tail was not distinctly visible therewith, although it showed an evident dark space immediately preceding the principal tail. With the naked eye I could see the long tail only. The head was about as bright as δ Aquilæ.
