       SN 2000xxx in UGC 3920

           Y. Sato and W. D. Li, University of California at
Berkeley, on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search
(cf. IAUC 6627, 7126),  report the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman
Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova
on unfiltered images taken on Oct 14.5 (mag about 17.8) and 16.5 UT
(mag about 17.7). The new object is located at R.A. = 7h35m19s.78,
Decl. = +19o2'43".5 (equinox 2000.0), which is 14".5 east and
1".5 south of the nucleus of UGC 3920.  A KAIT image of the same
field on Apr 5.1 UT showed nothing at the position of the SN
(limiting mag about 19.0).
