I WONDER that more has not been written about Barnard's comet (ƒ 1886). On the 9th, at 17h. 50m., in spite of the strong twilight, it was plain with the naked eye as a star. I did not notice its exact brightness, but it was perhaps equal to ρ Virginis. With the telescope its head was about 8' diameter, and it had two faint tails at about position-angles 250° and 300°. The former, which was the brighter at its origin, was ½° long, and was straight; the latter I believe was curved, and was ½° long.
