Schwartz, Cottage Grove, OR, reports his discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 16.9) on Jan. 14.29 UT with the 0.35-m Tenagra I automated supernova patrol telescope in Sonoita, AZ. SN 1999B is at R.A. = 12h11m16s.11, Decl. = +74o48'06".9 (2000), 2".4 W and 20".1 S of the nucleus of UGC 7189. IAUC 7086 SUPERNOVA 1999C IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY A. Gal-Yam and D. Maoz, Tel Aviv University, report their discovery of an apparent supernova on unfiltered CCD images taken with the Wise Observatory 1-m telescope on Jan. 14. SN 1999C (R = 19.6) is at R.A. = 10h08m51s.21, Decl =+71o10'42".9 (2000) IAUC 7088 SUPERNOVA 1999D IN NGC 3690 Y. L. Qiu et.al., (BAO), report their discovery of an apparent supernova in the course of the BAO Supernova Survey with the 0.6-m telescope at Xinglong Station. The new star is located at R.A. = 11h28m29s.50, Decl. = +58o33'40".6 (2000.0), 14".1 W and 12".6N of NGC 3690 IAUC 7088 SUPERNOVA 1999E IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY I. Perez and J.
