OT J213806.6+261957: superhump period update

   We have received further observations from Okayama U. of Sci. team, Osaka
Kyoiku U. team, Enrique de Miguel, Mike Simonsen and Kiyota-san.
The object has not yet entered stage C of superhump evolution, but is
apparently close to the transition.  The period derivative up to now
is +4.6(0.9)*10^(-5), with a possible indication of slowing of the
lengthening of the period at the latest epoch.
Continued observations are strongly encouraged.
