SUPERNOVA 2000cm IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY J. Mueller reports her discovery of an apparent supernova (mag about 16) on a near-infrared IVN plate taken on May 31 UT by K. Rykoski with the 1.2-m Oschin Schmidt telescope in the course of the second Palomar Sky Survey. SN 2000cm is located at R.A. = 12h12m59s.1, Decl. = +7o17'53" (2000), which is 9" west and 6" north of the centre of the apparent host galaxy. IAUC 7436 SUPERNOVA 2000cn IN UGC 11064 M. Papenkova and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search, report the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope of an apparent supernova on unfiltered images taken on June 2.5 (mag about 17.4) and 3.4 UT (mag about 16.9). SN 2000cn is located at R.A. = 17h57m40s.42, Decl. = +27o49'58".1 (2000), which is 7".2 west and 7".2 south of the nucleus of UGC 11604. IAUC 7436 SUPERNOVA 2000co IN MCG +7-33-17 T. Puckett, Mountain Town, GA, reports the discovery of an apparent supernova (mag 19.2) on an unfiltered CCD frame (limiting mag 20.5) taken with the Puckett Observatory 0.60-m automated supernova patrol telescope on June 2.26 UT. SN 2000co is located at R.A. = 15h57m24s.59, Decl. = +41o54'02".0 (2000), which is 4".1 east and 9".0 south of the centre of MCG +7-33-17. IAUC 7436 SUPERNOVA 2000cp IN PGC 57064 M. Modjaz, S. Beckmann, C. Yu, and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, on behalf of the Lick Observatory Supernova Search, report the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope of an apparent supernova in the Abell cluster 2151. SN 2000cp (mag about 18.0) was discovered on an unfiltered image taken on June 21.3 UT, and was confirmed on an earlier image taken on June 15.3 (mag about 18.8). SN 2000cp is located at R.A. = 16h05m27s.62, Decl. = +17o49'48".8 (2000), which is between the two apparent nuclei of PGC 57064 and is 3".3 west and 1".7 north of the southern nucleus. Guy M Hurst
