Further to Yamaoka-san's note about SN1998an in UGC 3683, I collected precise positions for the galaxy itself. The average of the NED, GSC v1.2, and USNO-A1.0 positions is: UGC 3683 7 08 13.9 +46 06 57 (2000) ...so Arbour's position for the SN has the correct offsets. I also examined the galaxy on the relevant POSS-II J film. Indeed this is a "textbook" example of a pure SA0o type galaxy. I note that the corona of the galaxy in its outermost isophotes has a somewhat 'boxy' outline, which is uncommon but not unusual for galaxies of this type. \Brian
