Abstract
IN spite of the bad weather and the glare of twilight and moonlight, I have made a good number of observations and drawings of this comet; especially on December 16, 1886, the day of its passage at perihelion, and consequently of its shortest distance from the sun (nearly two-thirds of the distance of the earth from the sun).
