TITLE:   GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER:  7389
SUBJECT: GRB 080310:  Magellan redshift revision

E. Berger (Carnegie/Princeton) and M. Rauch (Carnegie) report:

"The redshift of 1.7 previously quoted in GCN 7384 was due to 
mis-identification of the line.  Based on the detection of Ly-alpha, SII, 
CIV, SiIV, etc.  the correct redshift is z=2.42."
