Abstract
POSITIONS of this comet have been recorded by several British observers, and an orbit has been computed by Dr. M. Davidson. Another orbit was computed by Cunningham from earlier observations, and the elements of both orbits are given below and also an ephemeris. It is approaching the sun and receding from the earth and is not likely to become a spectacular object. At the beginning of March its distances from the sun and earth are 1·8 and 1·07 astronomical units respectively.
