Comet Three Years Ahead OF
Schedule.

Cambridge, Mass, August 3d.
The probability that Brorsen's comet
discovered in 1847, has come into
the range of observation three years
before it was again due, has devel-
oped in connection with observations
of the first of two comets recently re-
ported from South Hero, VT, by the
Rev. Joel H. Metcalf. The Harvard
Collegr observatory today announced
that Prof. LETTERS and Miss Heger,
California astronomers. had reported
through the students obse rvatory at
Berkcl y computations which indicat-
ed that the first Metcalf comet was
identical with that discove red by
Brorsen.
If this is correct Prof. S. I. Bailey,
acting director of the Harvard OBJ
servatory says it will make Brorsen s
and llalley's comets the only ones
known to have made return visit.
Brorsen's comet had been expected
visible in 1922. Its orbit may have
been miscalculated when it's period
was given as Is years, or it may have
DETECTED by uneven attractions of the
sun.
Preliminary observations indicate
that the probable time of Perihelion
passag" of the Brorsen- Metcalf comet
will be October 16, when it will be
nearest the sun. Observations of the
comet have been reported by astron-
omers from many parts of the world.
