Abstract
THE observations of Prof. Young on the present appearance of the spectrum of Brorsen's comet are of great interest, from the circumstance to which he refers in his letter in NATURE, vol. xix. p. 559, namely, that in 1868 I found the positions of the three bright bands of this comet not to agree with those of other comets which I showed to be coincident with the bright bands in the spectrum of flames containing carbon.
