S. T. Holland (CRESST/USRA/GSFC) and
R. Margutti (INAF-OAB)
report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:

      The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB 110318B starting 58 s
after the BAT trigger (Margutti, et al., 2011, GCN Circ. 11799).
Settled observations started at 76 s.  We do not detect an optical
afterglow at the UVOT-enhanced XRT position (Evans, et al., 2011, GCN
Circ. 11803) in any of the UVOT filters.  Preliminary 3-sigma upper
limits for detecting a source in the finding charts and in the
co-added images, are

     The quoted magnitudes and upper limits have not been corrected
for the expected Galactic extinction along the line of sight
corresponding to a reddening of E_{B-V} = 0.46 mag (Schlegel, et al.,
1998, ApJS, 500, 525).
