Abstract
MINOR PLANETS.—The Stroobant object, mentioned in our issue of March 15, is a minor planet, not a comet. It may be a known planet, as the ephemerides for these do not extend so far from opposition. The planet (9) Metis was in the neighbourhood, but apparently not quite near enough to the place to make identity possible.
