Abstract
COMET ignfr (KiEss).—The numerous observations of Kiess's comet which appear in Nos. 4513–5 of the Astronomische Nachrichten agree in describing it as a nebulous mass some 2.5′ to 5′ in diameter, with a condensation some 40″ to 50″ across, but no definite nucleus. The estimates of the magnitude, as one would expect of such an object, vary considerably, but about July 10 the magnitude was approximately 8.0.
