Dr. Brinkley’s elements of 
the anomalies of this comet exceeded that of 1000 days in 
the tabular comet. 
Besides the elements (B) deduced by the method of which 
the explanation is given, I had previously deduced another 
set (A) by a process less certain in its operations. The latter 
set (A) however, may be thought not much inferior to the 
other set (B). 
1 remain, my dear Sir, 
your’s most truly, 
Dr. Wollaston, £fc. 8fc. $c. J. BRINKLEY.
