NOTICING Major J. Hetscbel's remark in NATURE, vol. xxvii. p. 5, as to the difficulty he experienced in London of observing the comet, apparently owing to the moonlight, I may state that on the morning of the same Sus day to which he refers, I saw the comet very plainly when at Roshsay, Isle of bute, Scotland. The time was beta eon 5 and 6 a.m., and tberefore before sunrise. The moon was brilliant, and the whole sky wonderfully clear, and but few stars noticeable, on account of the moonlight, nevertheless, the comet showed well, extending about 20° across the sky due south, magnetic; the nucleus was well defined, and about as bright as the stars then visible. The tail was straight, spreading outwards to the extremity. No glass was used in the observation recorded.
