report on behalf of the REM/ROSS team:

The field of GRB 060719 (Stamatikos et al. GCN 5339) has been
observed by the robotic 60-cm REM telescope located at La Silla (Chile).
A set of observations was performed automatically in the near infrared
(z', J, H, K) starting on July 19.2858 (about 75 s after the BAT 
trigger).

No NIR sources are detected within the XRT error circle in all filters
down to the 2MASS limiting magnitude.
