Dr. M. Huruhata, Director of the Tokyo Astronomical Observatory,
cables the following parabolic elements and ephemeris by K. Hurukawa.
The elements are based on more than three observations, covering an
arc of six days, and the maximum residuals are 1" to 5". Dr. Hurukawa
remarks that the elements somewhat resemble those of P/Neujmin 2.
