AT 4.30 this morning this comet was a most conspicuous and lovely object in the clear sky, in the south-east. With the assistance of Mr. Hodges and Mr. Percy Smith, the following details were obtained. The tail extended for quite 15° in length, and about 5° in width at its widest part, being slightly curved with the convexity downwards. The lower edge of the tail was very sharp, but the upper edge was gradually shaded off. The nucleus was considerably lengthened out in the direction of the tail to an extent of quite three times its width. Its estimated length was 10''.
