SUPERNOVA IN NGC 3389
     Dr. F. Bertola, Osservatorio Astronomico, Padova, writes as
follows: "After the announcement of the discovery of Chuadze of the
supernova in NGC 3389, I secured a spectrum with the 122-cm Asiago
reflector on March 4-5.  The spectrum exhibits the features
characteristic of a Type I supernova near maximum.  The supernova is
present on a plate taken for a search of blue objects with the
Asiago 90-65-cm Schmidt telescope on March 2-3, and the resulting
U - B color index is close to zero."

     A cable from Dr. L. Detre, Director of the Konkoly Observatory,
Budapest, reports the independent discovery by Lovas on March 10 of
this supernova, 1' northwest of the nuclues of NGC 3389, with the
magnitude given as 14.

BD +26 870
     Mr. C. Y. Shao, Harvard College Observatory, writes: "Examination
of yellow (103a-G) and red (103a-E) patrol plates taken at the
Agassiz Station by Mr. W. Black on January 30.0 showed that
BD +26 870 was definitely fainter than the nearby star 121 Tau
(mv = 5.2, B3V)."
