656 The Psychic Calendar of Creation. [November, 
Neptune, are the nearest to A, about half-way between the 
two planets. 
To fix the distance and position of your nearer planet 
you have a group of seven comets, of which five had their 
last aphelion within thirty years from each other. 
B is at a = 76. It is inside and next to the planet you 
assume ; it is, I said, in 308° with error in more. You have 
accommodated your distances to the requirements of your 
hypothesis ; I have obtained my distances on other grounds, 
and see when and where the comets meet my planets as 
nearly as possible, in not too remote periods. 
For I., 1840, iv., you carry the catastrophe back to 968. 
There was an aphelion passage in 1668 in 220°: this would 
correspond to B at present not in 308°, but in 335 0 ; or at 
present in 308°, and in 1668 in 193 0 . 
Of III., 1846, vii., and V., 1793, ii., you say they do not 
“ fairly fit in.” The first of these comets has its aphelion 
in 340°; you carry the catastrophe back to 1248, with the 
planet in 320°. Taking B now in 308°, it would have been in 
1248 at 325 0 . The second comet passed its aphelion in 24Y 
in 1160 ; B was then in 276°, if it be now in 308°. 
II., 1843, i. does not fit in with B, and you refer it to a 
planet at a=ioo, which was in 98° when the comet was in 
its aphelion in ioo°, in 1655. In the period of 1250 A was 
in ioo°. 
IV., 1861, i., aphelion longitude 37 0 coincidence with your 
planet in 409 ; A was in the period of 1239 i n 85°. 
VI. , 1861, ii., aphelion in 96°, coincided with your planet 
in 1651. In the period of 1232 A was in 76°. 
VII. , 1855, ii., aphelion in 79 0 , met your planet in 1609, 
in 82° ; agrees neither with B nor A, but Schulze deduced 
an ellipsis with an aphelion distance of 57 instead of 
Donati’s 124*2.
