># NGC 3655, a host galaxy of SN 2002ji (11:22:53.15, +16:35:10.0
># (J2000.0), offset = 22"W, 14"S), is a nearby spiral (SA(s)c:)
># galaxy.  It is a probable member of a group LGG 237, which also
># contains NGC 3626 or NGC 3607.  It is at the nearly same distance as
># the Virgo cluster, so if it is typical unreddened SN Ia, it can

># old one or a collapse-driven event.

  According to IAUC 8026, the Baade telescope at Las Campanas spectrum
on Dec. 3.3 revealed that it is of SN Ic around 1 month after maximum.
