MAXI/GSC triggered at UT 2011-02-13T14:31:48 on a bright uncatalogued X-ray 
transient source.  Judging from its location and spectral hardness ratio, 
this transient is probably a gamma-ray burst. 
Since the emission was detected only for a fraction of the triangular 
transit response, the uncertainty of its position along the scan direction 
is large.  The center of the error box is 

(R.A., Dec) = (+41.768,  0.952 deg) = (02 47 04,  00 57 07)(J2000)

with an uncertainty of 0.5 deg (90% containment radius).
The preliminary flux of the transient source was 1.3 Crab (2-4 keV),
2.2 Crab (4-10 keV), and 3.5 Crab (10-20 keV).
There was no significant detection at the transit location in the
previous orbit (92 min before the detection) with an upper limit of 20 mCrab.  
There is no known bright X-ray source at the detected position. 

Follow-up observations are encouraged.
