Abstract
A NEW COMET.—A Copenhagen telegram announced an observation of Encke's comet by Dr. Max Wolf on September 14. At 13h. 51.3m., Königstuhl Mean Time, the position of the comet was R.A. 6° 24′, declination +13° 16′. The Morning Post of September 26 states that an observation made on September 21 proves the object to be a new comet, and not Encke's comet, as first supposed.
