P/Tempel-Tuttle, the comet associated with the Leonid meteor shower, was observed at only two of its last four passages through perihelion, in 1865–1866 and 1965. We have re-reduced the observations in 1865–1866, and with the help of Belyaev's computer programme for numerical integration have linked the two apparitions.
