Named by the discoverer in honor of his wife Ursula, of which Osita is the Spanish equivalent. While the discoverer was located at the Yale-Columbia Southern Station she measured and/or reduced more than 150 positions of comets and minor planets. Her volunteer services as assistant, visitor’s guide and secretary were performed in addition to the daily work of making a pleasant home at an isolated location. (M 3935)
