COMET KOBAYASHI-BERGER-MILON (1975h)
     Dr. K. Osawa, Director of the Tokyo Astronomical Observatory,
has cabled the observation by Matsumoto et al. below of a "probable"
comet discovered by Toru Kobayashi, Imadate, Fukui; no motion was
specified.  The comet was independently discovered by Douglas
Berger, Union City, California; and Dr. D. E. Osterbrock, Director
of the Lick Observatory, reports observations by E. A. Harlan and
A. R. Klemola.  A further independent discovery has been made by
Dennis Milon, observing from Mount Washburn, Wyoming.
