COMET BRADFIELD (1979c)
     William A. Bradfield, Dernancourt, near Adelaide, reports the
discovery of a comet.  The following observational information is
available:

     1979 UT          R. A. (1950) Decl.     m1     Observer
     June 24.417      8 37.5     - 1 20     10      Bradfield
          25.417      8 34.9     - 0 10     10      Tregaskis

W. A. Bradfield (Dernancourt, near Adelaide).  Object diffuse without
   condensation, nothing reported about a tail.
T. B. Tregaskis (Mount Eliza, near Melbourne).  Object diffuse with
   slight condensation, coma diameter 3'.


NOVALIKE OBJECT IN CENTAURUS
     P. Seitzer, G. Smith and B. Ross, Mount Stromlo Observatory,
report that a plate of the Cen X-4 region obtained on June 14.38 UT
with the Yale-Columbia 66-cm refractor showed an object at the
position given on IAUC 3362.  The object was at the plate limit (B
18) and had therefore faded by five magnitudes since the estimate
given on IAUC 3362.


SUPERNOVA IN NGC 4321
     J. Mattei, American Association of Variable Star Observers,
communicates the following visual magnitude estimates: May 26.09 UT,
13.4 (J. de Young, Scottsville, VA); 27.09, 13.5 (de Young); 30.3,
13.7 (R. Annal, Barstow, CA); June 13.11, 13.8 (C. Stephan, Solon,
OH); 13.14, 14.0 (T. Fetterman, South Bound Brook, NJ); 14.2, 14.3
(Annal).

     Corrigendum.  The designation of this galaxy was incorrectly
given as NGC 4301 on IAUC 3371.


NOVALIKE OBJECT IN VULPECULA
     J. Mattei also provides visual magnitude estimates for this
object as follows: June 13.27, 9.0 (Stephan); 14.09, 9.1 (de Young);
21.35, 8.9 (Fetterman).
