report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB
110726A 60 s after the BAT trigger (Wolf et al., GCN Circ. 12196).
A fading source consistent with the XRT position is detected in
the initial UVOT exposures.
The preliminary UVOT position is:
RA (J2000) = 19:06:52.08 = 286.71700 (deg.)
Dec (J2000) = +56:04:16.5 = 56.07126 (deg.)
with an estimated uncertainty of 0.51 arc sec. (radius, 90%
confidence).
Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT
photometric system (Poole et al. 2008, MNRAS, 383, 627) for the
early exposures are listed below.

The magnitudes in the table are not corrected for the Galactic
extinction due to the reddening of E(B-V) = 0.08 in the direction
of the burst (Schlegel et al. 1998).
