behalf of the GRS-Odyssey GRB team,

S. Golenetskii, R. Aptekar, V. Pal'shin, D. Frederiks, 
D. Svinkin, and T. Cline on behalf of the Konus-Wind team,

D. M. Smith, J. McTiernan, R. Schwartz, W.

S. Barthelmy, J. Cummings, N. Gehrels, H. Krimm, and D. Palmer, on behalf of

J. Goldsten, on behalf of the MESSENGER NS GRB team, and 

V. Connaughton, M. S. Briggs, C. Meegan, and V. Pelassa, on behalf of the Fermi
GBM team, report:

GRB 141118A has been observed by Fermi GBM, Konus-Wind, RHESSI, Swift
(outside the coded field of view), Odyssey (HEND), and MESSENGER
(GRNS), so far, at 58550 s (16:15:50 UT) so far.  We have triangulated
it to a preliminary, 3 sigma error box whose area is 2890 sq. arcmin.
and whose coordinates are:

              RA(2000)                      DEC(2000)
CENTER:  156.874 o =10 h 27 m 30 s     19.079 o= 19 o 04 ' 45 "
CORNERS: 157.620 o =10 h 30 m 29 s     21.134 o= 21 o 08 ' 01 "
         156.676 o =10 h 26 m 42 s     19.104 o= 19 o 06 ' 15 "
         157.071 o =10 h 28 m 17 s     19.054 o= 19 o 03 ' 13 "
         155.644 o =10 h 22 m 35 s     15.768 o= 15 o 46 ' 06 "

This error box may be improved.  A map has been posted at 
ssl.berkeley.edu/ipn3/141118A.  Details of this burst will be
given in a forthcoming GCN Circular.
