The motion of P/Borrelly has been investigated using all precise published positions and taking into account the perturbations by Venus to Pluto. Nongravitational forces have been found to influence the motion of the comet considerably, formerly as a secular deceleration, more recently as a secular acceleration. By linking the seven apparitions 1904–1960, with allowance for the nongravitational effects, we have obtained a set of elements which represents 802 observations with a mean error of 1′.89.
