Abstract
BIELA'S COMET.—The great swarm of meteors through which the earth passed on the evening of November 27, 1872, and which were found to be moving in the orbit of Biela's comet, must have been descending to a perihelion passage one month later, or about December 27’6 G.M.T. The comet not having been observed as such since the autumn of 1852, when both parts into which it was separated in 1846 were recovered, we may take this date as a new point of departure, assuming for the present that in following the great assemblage of meteoric bodies seen in November, 1872, we are following what now remains of the comet.
