1. The Fayi Count. 

 I was absent from Hudson at the time the news of the discover} of this comet firel 

 reached tins country, and had no opportunity to observe it until Januar) 23, I s - 1 I. 

 Then followed a succession of cloudy days, which, with the moon, prevented observatii 

 until February 10, when it was observed, although with some difficulty. The follow 

 evening I saw it again, but found it so extremely faint that I concluded to follow it mm 

 farther. The following are the stars of comparison employed. 



The following observations arc arranged in the usual manner. 



The present paper concludes my astronomical labours al Hudson, having ri signed the 

 observatory into the hands of Professor .lames Nooncy, from whose zeal and abilitj much 



may be expected in the cause of science.
