THANKS to the entire absence of twilight, and to a beautifully clear sky, I obtained a splendid view of the comet on November 14, 15h. 45m. The tail had a length of 30°, and was divided into two portions at the extreme end, the northern extremity corving very sharply upwards, and separated from the southern branch by a semi-circular space. The general form of the tail being very similar to the Greek character γ. The southern side still remained brighter than the northern. The nucleus was much more elongated than when I observed it on November 8. The two concentrations of light which were very noticeable on that date, were not now so conspicuous, being smaller and much closer together, so much so, that had the definition been otherwise than perfect the division between them could not have been seen. As showing the necessity of observing this interesting object in the absence of twilight I may mention that by 17h. 45m. G. M. T., the apparent length of the tail was reduced to 20°.
