SUPERNOVA IN NGC 4340
     E. P. Aksenov, Sternberg Astronomical Institute, reports that
Kulikovskij has discovered a supernova 11" west and 41" north of
the nucleus of NGC 4340.  On Jan. 27.0 UT its mpg was 16.2.


PERIODIC COMET TAYLOR (1977a)
     S. J. Bus, California Institute of Technology, provides the
following precise position, measured by him from an exposure by J.
Sanders with the 46-cm Schmidt telescope at Palomar; the comet's
image was slightly diffuse, with some condensation but no tail.

COMET LOVAS (1974c)
     A. C. Gilmore provides the following precise positions, measured
by P. M. Kilmartin from plates taken at the Carter Observatory:

     1976 UT             R. A. (1950) Decl.         m2

     The following orbital elements, by the undersigned, are based
on 119 observations 1974 Mar. 21 to 1976 Nov. 21.  Perturbations by
all nine planets were taken into account.

                      Epoch = 1975 Aug. 16.0 ET
       T = 1975 Aug. 22.1813 ET     Peri. = 261.3640
       e =   0.999601               Node  =  11.6714   1950.0
       q =   3.011456 AU            Incl. =  50.6422
