A cablegram received yesterday at the Harvard College Observatory announces the discovery by Stroobant, the assistant director of the Royal Observatory at Uccle in Brussels, Belgium, of an object in the following position; March 5, 3101 Greenwich Mean Time, right ascension 2 hrs., 42 mts., 28 sec.; declination North 16 deg., 44 mts.; daily motion right ascension 1 mt., 20 sec, of time, East, 10m., are North.

It is not known yet whether this object is a comet, but it is in the constellation Aires, close to the Ecliplic. It is too faint to be seen with anything but a large telescope.
