bridge. Upon investigating some pecu.
liarities in the orbit of the comet diecov-
cred last July by Mr.. Brooks,
and which is still under observation,
Mr.. Chandler found it had made
q remarkably close approach to the
planet Jupiter in 1885, and that its path
had then been entirely changed. the
comet being thrown into it's present
small ellipse with period of seven
years. Stimulated by this to find out
what the path Of the comet was previous
to 1886, he was led to the discovery that
it was identical with the famous Lexell's
"lost comet" of 1770.
