Abstract
COMET NEWS.—The latest comet discovered, namely 19136, (Zinner), has been identified as a return of 1900 III. (Giacobini), so that it has made two revolutions since its original discovery, the period being 6.435 years. Being of about the tenth magnitude and its declination a large southerly one, namely, greater than 19°, it is not a favourable object for observers in high northern latitudes. An ephemeris extending to November 14 is given in Astronomische Nachrichten, No. 4690.
