The Sun, of coarse, in these latitudes, instead of going dowu straight, sank in a slinting direction, and all the Western sky was filled with a bright light, it did not get very far below the horizon, so that and the least light was absolutely fatal to such an object as a Comet's tail The cloudiness which interfered with observations about the time of the transit might justifiably be called the "oussedness of things" (Laughter.) On May 21 the Comot appeared as a very large nebalens body, ostimmtel at from 15 to 20 minutes in diameter, and he could just trace the fail, though with considerable difficulty, straich ing away from it for a length, as he thought, looked very small, and he could not detect the faintest tinco of a tail, Bat what he did seo was a bright nucleus, fairly well defined, surrounde singular fan-shaped projection, which at first, by a a feeble nebulosity, and, most various of all, a without thinking, he took for the beginning of tho Comet's tail. A little consideration, however, soon showed that that was not the case, for the tail would be pointing towards the Sun, and treas streamers on the Sunday night wero extending not in that direction but below the Sun. On the Monday right he saw them again, but they were drawn then more tenants the South. He believed the phenomenon had been observed at Greenwich and one or two other places.
