COMET FUJIKAWA (1978n)
M. P. Candy, Perth observatory, communicates the following
precise position, measured by J. Johnson from an exposure by P.
Jekabsons with the 33-cm astrograph:
1978 UT R. A. (1950) Decl. m1

PERIODIC COMET HANEDA-CAMPOS (1978j)
The following precise position has been measured by R. M. West
from a plate taken by H.-E. Schuster with the 100-cm Schmidt telescope
at the European Southern Observatory. The comet's image was
very diffuse.
