SUPERNOVA 1994ag IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
     R. H. McNaught reports his discovery of an apparent supernova
(mag about 17.5) in an anonymous galaxy on an I plate taken by M.
Hartley with the U.K. Schmidt Telescope on Nov. 11.  SN 1994ag is
at R.A. = 3h51m42s.88, Decl. = -39o09'16".6 (equinox 1950.0;
uncertainty 0".3 in each coordinate), which is 8".6 east and 3".1
south of the galaxy's center.  No image appears in this position on
the ESO B survey.  The galaxy has a pronounced nucleus with a bar,
the supernova appearing at one end of the bar.  Confirmation was
obtained on Dec. 5 by G. J. Garradd (Loomberah, N.S.W.) via a blue
CCD image exposed with a 0.25-m reflector.  A nearby star some two
mag fainter in B than SN 1994ag has position end figures 44s.08,
20".8.
