SUPERNOVA 2001ff IN UGC 4685
W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley, reports the
discovery by LOTOSS of an apparent supernova (mag about 17.1) in
unfiltered KAIT images taken on Nov. 2.5 and 3.5 UT.
SN 2001ff is located at R.A. = 8h57m00s.97, Decl. = +13o11'59".5
(2000), which is 1".5 W and 2".6 N of the nucleus of UGC 4685.

SUPERNOVA 2001fg IN ANONYMOUS GALAXY
D. Vanden Berk and B. Wilhite, Experimental Astrophysics Group,
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, report the detection of an
apparent supernova by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in images
taken with the SDSS 2.5-m telescope on Oct. 15.15 UT. Magnitudes
derived for the new object are u = 21.16, g = 19.20, r = 17.87, i =
18.17, z = 17.86 (dereddened for Galactic extinction using the
values given by Schlegel et al. 1998, Ap.J. 500, 525). SN 2001fg is
located at R.A. = 21h12m45s.23, Decl. = -0 52'36".2 (2000), which
is 3" west and 4" south of the nucleus of a galaxy having position
end figures 45s.45, 32".3.

SUPERNOVA 2001fh IN PGC 66592
P. Martin and W. D. Li, University of California at Berkeley,
report the discovery by LOTOSS of an apparent supernova in
unfiltered images taken with the Katzman Automatic Imaging
Telescope (KAIT) on Nov. 3.2 (mag about 17.2) and 5.2 UT (mag about
16.9).  SN 2001fh is located at:
R.A. = 21h20m42s.50, Decl. = +44o23'53".2 (2000), which is 0".6
east and 6".3 south of the nucleus of PGC 66592.

SUPERNOVAE 2001fi-2001ft
B. Barris, University of Hawaii, on behalf of the High-Z Supernova
Search Team, reports the discovery of several apparent supernovae
on I-band images taken with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope,
identified by subtracting images taken on Sept. 11 from those taken
Oct. 9, and confirmed on images taken on Sept. 24:
