       W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, on behalf
of LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514), reports the discovery with the 0.8-m
Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova
(mag about 17.5) on unfiltered images taken on Jan 31.4 UT and Feb
1.3 UT. SN 2001XXX is located at R.A. = 11h53m21s.56, Decl. =
+20o44'53".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 17".2 east and 13".1 south
of the nucleus of NGC 3947.  A KAIT image on Jan 7.4 UT showed
nothing at this position (limiting magnitude about 19.0).
