Detection of the 36.4-GHz J - 4-3 rotational transition of interstellar cyanoacetylene (HC3N) is reported. The line was seen in emission from Sagittarius B2 and from the Mira variable, W Hydrae. The 18.2-GHz J - 2-1 line from Sgr B2 was reobserved to remove some confusion about the intensity of this line. The profiles of the lower-order lines in Sgr B2 are compared. The intensities of the transitions up to J = 14-13 suggest a kinetic temperature of about 12K for the region of origin of the Sgr B2 interstellar molecular lines.
