Distinct classes of distortion of positional observations and the effect of those classes on the orbit elements of single-apparition comets are dealt with. A general discussion of precession, nutation, various modes of aberration of light, diurnal parallax, refraction, catalog coordinates and proper motions of reference stars is given, and the contributions made by those phenomena to various types of observational data are discussed. Reduced data appearing in the catalog of orbits of single-apparition nonrecurrent comets afford comparisons of comet positions based on the theory of motion and observational data; these positions remain unaltered in successive approximations following the mathematical model.
