K.L. Page, P.A. Evans (U. Leicester) and N.P.M. Kuin (UCL-MSSL) report on
behalf of the Swift-XRT and UVOT teams:

The Swift-XRT began observing the field of GRB 131011A 397 ks after the
event (Cummings & Palmer, GCN Circ. 15483). In 2.8 ks of Photon Counting
(PC)  mode data, no source was found in the BAT error circle; the 3-sigma
upper limit (0.3-10 keV) is 3.6e-3 count s^-1

The Swift-UVOT also began observations of the field of GRB 131110A�at the
same time. No optical afterglow was found in the image. Preliminary
3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric system (Breeveld et al.
2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the� initial exposures are:
