its perikttijOtl tieftire are saw it, but not many degrees; the
comet now vislble is coming towards its perihelion, and there-
fore increasing in splendour every night—and will continue to
do so till it tie absorbed in the rays of the Sun, which will take
Owe within the course of four or five weeks. Whether or not
t will be visible after passing its perihelion, I cannot ascertain,
44 Its nucleus is very large ; but its diurnal progress is very
OW. I have 1.-,sn -observing it ever since the Ilth instant, and
dp not think for I cannot ascertain it tor want of an apparatus)
bt itSapparint velocity exceeds 50 minutes of a degree in 24
ourn. "This is owing to its immense distance from us and its
