Results from the occultation of 14 Piscium by (51) NemausaObservations of the September 11, 1983 occultation of 14 Psc by the asteroid (51) Nemausa were obtained at six sites distributed across the northern two-thirds of the track. The observations are well represented by an elliptical limb profile with a semimajor axis of 84.9 + or - 2.0 km and oblateness (1-b'/a') 0.20 + or - 0.05. The mean radius of 74 + or - 4 km agrees with the 1979 occultation effective radius of 76.5 + or - 4 km and the published radiometric radius of 75.5 km (Morrison and Zellner, 1979).
