Abstract
RETURN OF COMET BROOKS (1889 V.).—A telegram from Kiel announces that Brooks's periodic comet was observed by Javelle at Nice on June 20. At 14th.17˙4m. mean time it was in R.A. 22h. 25m. 30s., Decl. 18° 33' 59″S. The comet is now in the southern part of Aquarius, and rises about midnight. It is interesting to note that the observed place of the comet shows a very close agreement with Dr. Bauschinger's search ephemeris printed in NATURE (vol. liv. p. 84).
