NEW COMET NAMES AND NEW NUMBERING OF SHORT-PERIOD COMETS
     The following names have been voted upon by the IAU Working Group on
Small Body Nomenclature for recently discovered comets:

Designation (Name)                   Discovery Reference
P/2015 PD229 (Cameron-ISON)             CBET 4251
C/2014 HU195 (Valdes-TOTAS)             CBET 4294

     Further to CBET 4343, the following permanent numbers have been assigned
to short-period comets based upon their being securely observed at multiple
returns to perihelion.
