A Seyfert galaxy at 1950: 5h56m21s, -38 deg 20 arcmin 15 arcsec with a velocity of recession 10,000 km/s is identified with the X-ray source 3A 0557-383. The optical spectrum is very heavily reddened, so that the absolute magnitude, if corrected for extinction, reveals this to be one of the most luminous Seyferts known. It shows a very high mean X-ray luminosity of 10 to the 3.72 W (2-10 keV) and is believed to be variable.
