COMET RUSSELL (1983i)
     Kenneth S. Russell, U.K. Schmidt Telescope Unit, telexes that
he has discovered a comet on exposures with the 1.2-m Schmidt at
Siding Spring.  The comet has a noticeable tail ~ 3'-4' long at
right angles to the direction of motion.

1983 LB AND 1983 LC
     The following fast-moving objects have been found by S. R.
Swanson (in the case of 1983 LB), E. Helin and R. S. Dunbar on
exposures with the Palomar 1.2-m Schmidt.  Measurer: Swanson.

SUPERNOVAE
     H. Schild, European Southern Observatory, reports the discovery
on June 14.3 UT by M. Pizarro and himself of a supernova at R.A.
= 21h13m58s8, Decl. = -47deg13'52" (equinox 1983.5), 26" east and 24"
south of the nucleus of NGC 7038.  The discovery was made with
the 3.6-m telescope, and a spectrogram (dispersion 172 A/mm) was
also obtained.  Preliminary photometry by K. Jensen with the 1.5-
m Danish telescope gives V = 17.1 +/- 0.2.

     J. Maza, University of Chile, reports the discovery (on an
exposure by L. E. Gonzalez at Cerro El Roble on June 9.1 UT) by M.
Wischnjewsky of a supernova at R.A. = 22h54m00s32, Decl. = -37deg01'44".4
(equinox 1950.0), 84" east and 40" north of the nucleus of the
spiral galaxy ESO 406-G27.  The photographic magnitude was 16.0.
