behalf of the GRS-Odyssey GRB team, report:

The long-duration, intense GRB 111016B was observed by Konus-Wind, Mars 
Odyssey (HEND), MESSENGER (GRNS), RHESSI, and Swift (BAT) (outside the 
coded field of view) at 81700 s UT (22:41:40). We have triangulated it 
to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose coordinates are:
  ---------------------------------------------
   RA(2000), deg                 Dec(2000), deg
  ---------------------------------------------
  Center:
   290.499 (19h 22m 00s)  -4.578 ( -4d 34' 39")
  Corners:
   290.322 (19h 21m 17s)  -4.416 ( -4d 24' 56")
   290.513 (19h 22m 03s)  -4.048 ( -4d 02' 53")
   290.676 (19h 22m 42s)  -4.740 ( -4d 44' 24")
   290.487 (19h 21m 57s)  -5.119 ( -5d 07' 09")
  ---------------------------------------------

The error box area is 696 sq. arcmin, and its maximum
dimension is 64 arcmin.

This box can be improved.

The time history and spectrum will be given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.
