We observed GRB 160131A (Page et al. GCN 18951) with
60cm WFT telescope at 10:29:14UT, about 127 min after the burst.
The optical afterglow (Page et a.., GCN 18951, YurKov et al., GCN 18952,
Guidorzi et al., GCN 18953, Xin et al., 18954) was detected
in our white and R-band images. The brightness of the optical afterglow
is about 15.85 mag at the mid time of 127.5 min afer the burst, calibrated by
