The 5-30 pm spectrum of Comet P/Halley is modelled for various grain compositions on the basis of an observationally determined distribution of grain sizes. We compute the distribution function of grain temperatures and fluxes arising from (1) a mineral grain model, and ( 2) an organic grain model c
