Castro-Tirado (INTA, Madrid and IAA, Granada) report:\n\n\"A BTA/MPSF 4500-s spectrum of the optical transient of\nGRB 991208 (GCN #452)  was obtained on\n14.14 Dec 1999 UT with the the SAO-RAS 6-m telescope.\nThe observational conditions on 14 Dec were already given in GCN #461.\nThe data were obtained with\nthe integral field spectrograph (Multi Pupil Fiber Spectrograph,\nMPFS, http://www.sao.ru:8100/~gafan/devices/mpfs/mpfs_main.htm )\nwith 300 lines/mm grating blazed at 6000 A  giving a spectral resolution\nof about 5 A/pix and effective wavelength coverage of 4100 - 9200 A.\nEmission lines at lambda = 6350 A, 8550 A and 8470 A are present,\nwith the most likely identifications of these emission lines being:\n[OII] 3727 A, [OIII] 4959,5007 A at a redshift of z = 0.707 +/-0.002,\npresumably that of the host galaxy.\n\nThis message may be cited.\"",
