The Comet, which is now visible in our
hemisphere, is not the one that Astronomers
have been anxously looking for since the
lst Of August. From projection OF this
Comets place on the plane Of the ccliptlc,a ,as
obtained by three observations at intervals
of "a hours; it appears to be the one which
appeared in 1879. Could two observations
more be obtained at intervals OF several days
each. its orbit would be ascertained suill-
ciently near to determine whether we arc
correct, and if SO, to obtain its period.


Should Encke's Comet, the one we have
been locking for, have passed its pcrlhellon
about the Gath of August, it weuld be invisi-
bic, being hid in the suns rays beyond him,
until it would be too distant to be visible to
the naked eye.
From observations made on the morning
of the 21st inst, this Comet was found to be III
the right shoulder of Taurus.
