      The Circinus galaxy is a nearby (4 MPC) galaxy, but because of its
    low galactic latitude (4 deg) it has been little studied. Practically
    there is no x-ray observation with sensitivity exceeding 1 mcrab.
    This galaxy is a source of very intense far-IR radiation as well as
    powerful water maser emission.The nucleus exhibits radio spurs. Thus
    the object is very likely to be an AGN.
