1991 JW
     K. Lawrence and E. Helin report their discovery of a fast-
moving asteroidal object on films obtained this past week by them
and P. Rose with the 0.46-m Schmidt telescope at Palomar.  B. G.
Marsden, Center for Astrophysics, identifies the object with one
found by C. Shoemaker on single-night films obtained with the same
telescope in April in collaboration with E. Shoemaker and D. Levy.
