The article discusses a recently observed comet by Mr Pons, its probable identity with a previously noted comet, and updated orbital elements from the Journal des Astres Magasine April 1918.

The report notes direct heliocentric movement and urges astronomers to use these calculations to refine the comet’s parameters amid limited visibility last year.
