Dear Dan,

The two SN candidates we reported earlier were confirmed. 
Please see attached reports.

The first SN was discovered by R. Chornock in his galaxy
project and the second in our normal search program. 

Cheers,
Weidong

       SN 2001XXX in NGC 3327

       R. Chornock and W. D. Li, University of California 
at Berkeley,  on behalf of LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514), report
the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging
Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova on unfiltered
images taken on Jan 21.4 UT (mag about 16.3) and Jan 22.4
UT (mag about 16.2). SN 2001XXX is located at R.A. =
10h39m58s.08, Decl. = +24o05'26".0 (equinox 2000.0), which
is 1".8 east and 2".7 south of the nucleus of NGC 3327.
The photometry and astrometry of the new object were measured
after subtracting a KAIT image of the same field taken on
Jan 1.4 UT, which showed nothing at the position of the SN
(limiting magnitude about 19.0).

          SN 2001XXX in NGC 3240

     A. B. Aazami and W. D. Li, University of California
at Berkeley, on behalf of LOTOSS (cf. IAUC 7514), report
the discovery with the 0.8-m Katzman Automatic Imaging
Telescope (KAIT) of an apparent supernova on unfiltered 
images taken on Jan 21.4 UT (mag about 17.5) and Jan 22.4 
UT (mag about 17.7). SN 2001XXX is located at R. A. = 
10h24m31s.48, Decl. = -21o47'40".6 (equinox 2000.0), which
is 12".3 east and 12".7 south of the nucleus of NGC 3240.
A KAIT image of the same field taken on Jan 3.4 UT showed
nothing at this position (limiting magnitude about 19.0).
