       SN 2001XXX in UGC 4729

       S. Beckmann and W. D. Li, University of California
at Berkeley,  on behalf of LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514), report
the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging
Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova on unfiltered
images taken on Jan 15.4 UT and Jan 16.3 UT, both showing 
the new star at mag about 17.5. SN 2001XXX is located at
R.A. = 9h0m43s.23, Decl. = +17 37'15".6 (equinox 2000.0),
which is 19".2 east and 2".4 south of the nucleus of UGC 4729.
A KAIT image of the same field on 2000 Dec 27.4 UT showed nothing
at the position of the SN (limiting magnitude about 19.0).
