October ^ I 7 h o' d Leonis (whofe right afcenfion 
was 162° o' 13" and declination 4 0 54' 57" north) 
preceded the Comet 40' 15" in right afcenfion, and 
was more foutherly 20' 53*". Hence the Comet’s 
right afcenfion was 162° 40' 30" and its declination 
S° 1 5 1 5 °" north. 
October yd 16I1 94' the 79th Leonis in the Britifh 
Catalogue (whofe right afcenfion was 167° 53' 37" 
and declination 2 0 44' 15" north) followed the Comet 
1 3' o" in right afcenfion, and was more northerly 38' 
35". Hence the Comet’s right afcenfion was 167® 
40' 37" and its declination 2 0 y' 40 " north. 
October 8d i6 h 53' the Comet preceded v Leonis 
i° 73' 30" in right afcenfion, and was 3 7' 20" more 
northerly. The right afcenfion of this ltar was 17 1° 
7' 45'" and its declination o° 30' yy" north $ therefore 
the Comet’s right afcenfion was 169° 34' 1 y" and its 
declination i° 8' 15" north. 
October 1 1 d 1 6h 52' the Comet followed v Leonis 
2° 33' 30' in right afcenfion, and appeared i° 5 y' y" 
more foutherly ; but it being near the horizon, the 
difference of right afcenfion muff have been con- 
tracted by refraCfion about 1' y", and the difference 
of declination about f 30": fo that the corrected 
right afcenfion of the Comet was i73°42' 20" and 
its declination i° 2y' 40" fouth. 
Immediately after this obfervation a fog arofe, 
which prevented me from repeating it ; and feveraL 
mornings following proving hazy or cloudy, I could 
not fee the Comet again till October 18th, about an 
hour and a quarter before fun-rifing ; when the twi- 
light being ftrong, and the Comet low, it appeared 
very faint, However, I was unwilling to omit the
