SUPERNOVA 2010gi IN IC 4660
     M. Yamanaka, Hiroshima University; A. Arai, Kyoto Sangyo University;
and K. Sakimoto, T. Okushima, K. S. Kawabata, Hiroshima University, report
that they obtained low-resolution optical spectra of 2010gi (cf. CBET 2376)
on July 19.7 UT at Higashi-Hiroshima Observatory (resolution, R, of 400),
Hiroshima University, and at Koyama Astronomical Observatory (R = 500), Kyoto
Sangyo University.  The spectra have broad absorption features at 540-580 and
590-620 nm, showing some resemblance to that of the type-IIb supernova 1993J
at a week before maximum light.  If it is assumed that the features are He I
587.9-nm and H-alpha, the blue-shifts of their line centers correspond to
about -14000 km/s and -23000 km/s, respectively.
