[Note to Paper on Donates Comet.]

Fig. VIII. — The Comet, as here represented between two stars, is 

 _agnified, when compared with the distances of the stars around 

 Antares, and therefore ought to have been encircled with a black line; 

 this however, would have spoiled the total effect of the representation, 

 as for want of space I could not have introduced the constellation alluded 

 to in the text. A reduction of the magnified Comet to about one-half of 

 its magnitude, woidd bring it to a somewhat more correct proportion with 

 Antares Venus, and a few other stars seen near to them.
