FROM:    Antonio Deugarte at IAA-CSIC  <deugarte@iaa.es>

A. de Ugarte Postigo, A.J. Castro-Tirado (IAA-CSIC,
Granada), J. Benko (Konkoly Observatory, Hungary)
and A. de la Nuez (IAC Tenerife), on behalf of a larger
collaboration, report:

"We have observed the field of GRB 070531 (Markwardt
et al., GCNC 6475) in I-band using the IAC80 telescope
at Izaņa Observatory (Spain) starting at 04:01 UT (1.85
hours after the burst). A combined image of 3960 s
does not show any source within the XRT error box
(Page et al. GCNC 6477). The image is significantly
deeper than the DSS2.
