The anti-tail of comet Bradfield 1987XXIX (= 1987s) was observed when the earth passed through the orbital plane of this comet on December 20, 1987. The time variation of this phenomenon was monitored continuously by Japanese amateur astronomers. Analyzing these photographs by using the Bessel-Bredkhin theory, we deal with the dust particles in the anti-tail.
