Abstract
LAST night the nebula in Andromeda was observed here. The stellar-like nucleus was distinctly seen. It appeared to be of a reddish-yellow colour as contrasted with that of the nebula. We think that a change has certainly taken place, no such stellar-like centre having previously been seen in the nucleus. The stellar point was examined with a small prism held between the eye-piece and the eye. A continuous spectrum was seen. Dr. Boeddicher and I were both convinced that there were considerable inequalities in its light, and independently formed the impression that there was at times a bright band or line in the green. The colour of the stellar point appeared much the same as that of Aldebaran.
