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

       The Swift/UVOT observed the field of GRB 090625B starting 3679 s
after the INTEGRAL/IBAS detection (Gotz, et al., 2009, GCN
Circ. 9572).  We do not find any new source, relative to the DSS,
USNO-B1.0, or 2MASS at the position of the XRT afterglow (Mao, et
al. 2009, GCN Circ. 9573).  Preliminary 3-sigma upper limits for
detecting a source in the co-added images are

--------------------------------------------

The quoted upper limits have not been corrected for the expected
Galactic extinction along the line of sight corresponding to a
reddening of E_{B-V} = 0.02 mag (Schlegel, et al., 1998, ApJS, 500,
525).  All photometry is on the UVOT photometry system described in
Poole et al. (2008, MNRAS, 383, 627).
