Abstract
This paper presents measurements of the polarization of light in the tails of the comets Arend-Roland and Mrkos, made in the total photographic light. Results given in Tables II and V indicate that the tail of the Arend-Roland comet contained a substantial dust component, while the polarization in the tail of the Mrkos comet can be explained predominantly by pure molecular emission.
