   Abstract:  We present the optical spectra of supernova 1994I which
            occurred in M51.  The observations were made for a period
            from a premaximum phase 10 hours after the discovery to one
            week past the maximum light.  The earliest spectrum was a
            continuum with broad and shallow absorption features.  The
            spectrum showed considerable evolution with time, the
            continuum becoming redder and the absorption features
            becoming more pronounced.  Since the spectra resemble
            closely thse of SN 1983I and 1983V, we classify SN 1994I
            to Type Ic.  The absorption features are identified following
            theoretical spectra.  Some results from analysis of the
            interstellar Na I D absorption line in M51 are also presented.
