     A. Klotz, Observatoire de Haute Provence, on behalf of the "TAROT
collaboration", reports the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag
about R = 16.0 +/- 0.3) on July 15.02 UT using images of the 0.25-m
"TAROT" robotic telescope at La Silla.  The new object is located at
R.A. = 12h47m03s.7, Decl. = -41o35'22" (equinox 2000.0), which is 73"
east and 21" south of the nucleus of NGC 4677.  Nothing is present at
this location on Palomar Sky Survey images.  Additional TAROT R
magnitudes for 2007ft:  July 11.02, [18.3; 17.02, 15.6 +/- 0.3.
