P. Kirshner, Center for Astrophysics (CfA), reports the discovery of two supernovae on behalf of the High-Z Supernova Search Team. The first object (SN 1995ao) is located at R.A. = 2h57m30s.70, Decl. = -1o41'19".8 (equinox 2000.0); a nearby foreground star has position end figures 32s.15, 40'43".5. The second object (SN 1995ap) is located at R.A. = 3h12m28s.13, Decl. = +0o41'43".4; a nearby star has position end figures 27s.23, 55".7. Both supernovae were discovered on frames taken by M. Phillips (Cerro Tololo) and B. Schmidt (Mount Stromlo and Siding Spring Observatories) with the Cerro Tololo 4-m telescope on Nov. 18 UT at R about 21.5. SN 1995ao was not present to R = 22.5 on a similar frame taken on Oct. 28. SN 1995ap was present at R about 22 on a frame taken on Oct. 28.
