SUPERNOVA 2005bq IN IC 4367
     G. Folatelli, N. Morrell, M. Hamuy, and C. Contreras, Las
Campanas Observatory, report that an optical spectrum (range
380-920 nm) of SN 2005bq (cf. IAUC 8515), obtained in the course of
the Carnegie Supernova Project on Apr. 19.35 UT with the Las Campanas
2.5-m du Pont telescope (+ WFCCD spectrograph), reveals it to be a
type-Ic supernova.  The spectrum is similar to that of SN 1983V
at 38 days after maximum light, although the Na I 589.3-nm line is
particularly strong in the case of SN 2005bq.
