  The Circinus Galaxy has been observed, for the first time above 10 keV, by
BeppoSAX. An excess emission above the extrapolation of the best fit 0.1--10
keV spectrum is apparent in the PDS data. The most likely explanation is that
we are observing the nucleus through a column density of about 4x10**24 cm-2,
i.e. large enough to completely block the radiation below 10 keV but small
enough to permit partial transmission above this energy.
