NO SUPERNOVA IN IC 4329A
     Several observers, including R. O. Evans, T. Gehrels, A. C.
Gilmore and R. H. McNaught, have reported their failure to detect
any new object brighter than mag 14-16 during Mar. 31-Apr. 3 in
the vicinity of IC 4329A (cf. IAUC 4198).


SUPERNOVA 1986A IN NGC 3367
     G. Pearce, University of Birmingham; R. Ellis and I. Parry,
University of Durham; and I. N. Reid, Royal Greenwich Observatory,
telex the following line identifications obtained during Feb. 9-13
with the Isaac Newton Telescope: Fe II? (521.5 nm), Si II (545.4,
564.0, 635.5), Si II + Na D? (597.2), O I (777.3), Ca II (857.9).


SUPERNOVA 1986B IN NGC 5101
     With reference to the note on IAUC 4190 (and amended on IAUC
4191), R. O. Evans, Hazelbrook, N.S.W., writes that that no
supernova was detected in this galaxy to limiting mag 14.5 (possibly
15.0) during several visual patrols as recently as 1985 Aug. 17.
