Book excerpt: Excerpt from Observations of the Great Comet of 1882 Made at the United States Naval Observatory All the observations made upon the Great Comet of 1882 (comet II at the Naval Observatory a1e he1e collected and arranged in a fo1m in which they will be readily available. Observations of position, with the t1ausit ci1ele equatorials, and descriptions or measurements of the nucleus, head, tail, and o envelope, are arranged, first chronologically, and then summarized in tables, and illustrated by drawings. Most of the work was done by the observers at such times as could be spared from more important duty, and this will, perhaps, account for the lack of complete ness of the observations in some particulars; but it is hoped that the data presented will be found of value by any one desiring to make a complete discussion this very interesting comet.
