RECENT investigations by Brady1 have yielded the suggestion that the historical observations of Halley's Comet can be interpreted as indicating the existence of a large planet beyond Pluto having an orbital period of 464 yr. One of us2 has carried out a detailed study of the past orbit of Halley's Comet using an extension of Cowell and Crommelin's method of Variation of Elements. Either Kiang's material2 was capable of showing Brady's result but it had not been noticed; or his calculations were insufficiently accurate; or Brady's result was better accounted for by another explanation. We have attempted further calculations to decide between these alternatives, and we now believe that the third alternative is correct..
