ALTHOUGH the fact is mentioned in NATURE of the 5th inst., that the comet was observed by Mr. Finlay, the First Assistant to the Astronomer-Royal at the Cape of Good Hope, at 5 a.m. on September 8, perhaps the following graphic account of its appearance, which I extract from a letter received this morning from my friend Mr. G. B. Bennett, dated Water-Hof, Cape Town, September 26, may have some interest. Mr. Bennett believed himself the earliest observer, but he does not consider the comet more conspicuous on this occasion than it was in 1843.
