     Consultation with the IAU Committee on Small-Body Nomenclature has
yielded the decision to introduce for this comet (cf. IAUC 8433, MPEC 2004-V52)
the new principal designation P/2004 V5 and to replace the name LINEAR-
Catalina with LINEAR-Hill.  The components A and B are defined as before,
although the opportunity has also been taken to reprint here the previously
tabulated Nov. 10.5 observations with their new coded designations.  The
orbital elements and ephemeris refer to component A.  Component B will pass
perihelion 0.23 day after component A.
