The College Observatory has received word by cable of the discovery of a comet by Skjellerup, the South African astronomer, at Cape Town on November 26. The comet was described as faint, and the position given was in the constellation of Crater.
Telescopic photographs taken at the University after the receipt of the cablegram show the comet to be brighter than Baade's comet, which was recently discovered, and to be moving more rapidly. It is going southeast at the rate of between three and four diameters of the moon per day. At present it is of the seventh magnitude; somewhat too faint, to be seen with the naked eye.
