The orbit of P/Pons-Brooks has been studied using the observations of 1812, 1883–1884 and 1953–1954. A curious deviation of the residuals has been established during the last two months of observation in April and May 1884, but no discontinuity in the orbit due to an impulsive action on the comet has been found. The observations covering two complete revolutions cannot be fitted into one single orbit.
