Abstract
ANNOUNCEMENT OF A NEW COMET.—Mr. W. N. Abbot, the British schoolboy in Athens who recently announced the brightening of Beta Ceti, now reports the discovery of a comet on June 12. The Right Ascension is given as 15h 13m 4s, and the Declination 53° 26′ N., in the constellation Draco. As the telegram is not quite in the regular form, there is some doubt whether the Declination may not be the complement of the above, that is, 36° 34′. No further information is at present to hand.
