Abstract
THE MOTION OF NovA AURIGIE.—Prof. W. W. Campbell, of the Lick Observatory, has communicated further results relating to Nova Aurigre to the December number of Astronomy and Astrophysics. He is now perfectly convinced that the variation in the velocity previously suspected is real, and probably due to orbital motion. The values given below have been calculated on the assumption that the brightest line in the spectrum of the Nova, since the reappearance in August, is really the chief nebula line. The bright lines were displaced towards the violet, indicating approach, whereas in February and March last they were displaced towards the red.
