Abstract (from CDS):

We report optical observations of the GRB 980329 error box which represent the second earliest detection of the GRB 980329 optical transient. We determine R=23.7±0.5mag on 29.89 March, which is consistent with R=23.6±0.2mag as reported by Palazzi et al. (1998) on 29.99 March. Based on extrapolations of the light curve we claim that the R-band magnitude of the GRB 980329 host galaxy should lie in the range 26.8mag<R<29mag. We also discuss the similarities with GRB 970111.
