XZ Eri: superhumps

   We have received observations from Nakajima-san, Greg Bolt and
Maehara-san.  Observations between Nov. 26 and 30 (four nights)
have yielded a period of 0.06268(2) d for superhumps.
The period is shorter than the "mean" value of past superoutbursts,
but is probably a result of period variation (this system has a
positive Pdot).  Further observations are encouraged to follow the
period evolution.  If you have observations after Nov. 30, we would
be happy to receive them.
