Abstract
COMETS.—Further observations of Van Biesbroeck's Comet on November 27 indicated that the R.A. of the Moller-Stromgren ephemeris was too small by 1 sec., and its declination too large by 0.7′; these discord ances are small, and are in the direction of making the perihelion passage a day or two earlier than September 29, and the perihelion distance slightly greater than 1.447 units. The proximity of the moon has probably prevented later observations.
