The Comet
Abstract
REFERRING to my letter of the 16th, I beg to say that the R.A. of the ``neighbouring object'' should have been 10h. 11m., and that it was probably, not Schmidt's comet, as supposed, but the 7th or 8th mag. star 19980 Lalande, which does not appear in the B.A. Catalogue, or in the V.S. Catalogue, or in the large maps of the S.D.V.K., or on Mattly's Globe. It appeared to me of much greater magnitude than the above.
