Abstract
P.S. November 8.—The “horn” was this morning still a marked feature of the comet, though much less definite than formerly. Its origin (at the point where it begins from the northern branch) is still brighter than the neighbouring portions of the tail for a considerable distance in all directions. It occurs to me that this comet offers a very favourable opportunity of testing theories of the motions of tails; its features are no definite that if careful observations are, and have been, made of the positions of different points, they must throw much light on the subject.
