Abstract
COMETS 1906b AND 1906c.—A set of new elements for the orbit of comet 1906b is published by Herr M. Ebell in No. 4087 of the Astronomische Nachrichten. An ephemeris for alternate days is also given, extending from May 4 to July 7, and shows that this comet is still in the southern part of the constellation Leo, about half-way between τ and ν Leonis. It is moving very slowly in a south-eastern direction, its present brightness being about 0.5 of that at the time of its discovery.
