           SUPERNOVA IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY

   The Supernova 16mag, announced in IAU Circ. 1931, is visible on
11 astrograph plates 1965 Sep. 20/21 to Sep. 25/26. No immediately
preceding plates are available. On the first 2 days the star is
slightly brighter than the nucleus on the galaxy, on Sep. 25/25
equal to the nucleus. The galaxy, according to Palomar Sky Survey,
might be a face-on spiral system. The supernova is preceding the
nucleus 0.45', slightly to the south.

            OBJECT ROSINO-ZWICKY NEAR M88


  A mistake in reducing the estimates of this object has led to
wrong 1965 magnitude data given in this Bulletin, No. 99.

   Including several estimates on Sky patrol plates (Te, taken
by H. Huth ) the following correct magnitudes can be derived from
Sonneberg plates:
