oF mathematical and philosophical sciences of the National 

 Institute on the 5lh of this month t Passaue to the perihe- 

 lion, 25th Septemoer, 3 A.M., distance of the perihelion 

 0-G15S; perihelion 2,9l"4'; nucleus 20;° 47'; inciinatioa 

 4S° 4' : movement direct. 'I'liese hints, says M. Burekhardt, 

 will be sufficient to calculate the route of the cornel ; but it 

 may be discovered without any trouble, being distino-uislia- 

 ble by the naked eye, as soon as night has closed. It is now 

 (September 25;h) to the left of Arcturus,' between the stars 

 of the Bofeal Crown and those of Libra to the west. Its 

 motion is one degree per day towards the norti), and rather 

 more than a degree towards the east. This comet was also 

 seen on the 2Sth at Vezhoul, and .M. Flaugcrgues perceived 

 it on the 26lh at \'i'.iLrs. It seemed to hini like a white 

 nebulous spot, very brill ant, and similar to a star of the 

 second magnitude. It was surrounded by a nebulosity of 

 about six minutes in diameter, and had a tail about a degree 

 and a half in length. It is the opinion of the Institute that 

 this comet is difierent from any with which we are ac- 

 quainted."
