SN 2008ge resembles a peculiar type-Ia supernova several weeks past maximum; SNID suggests that supernova 2008ge is a 2002cx-like event at 23 days past maximum. The spectrum of 2008gg appears to be that of a normal type-Ia supernova. SNID reveals that 2008gg closely resembles 2002bo at a few days past maximum; adopting a host-galaxy recession velocity of 9598 km/s (Wong et al. 2006, MNRAS 371, 4) for the host galaxy (NGC 539), Si II (rest 635.5 nm) is measured to be blue-shifted by roughly 11000 km/s. SN 2008gi is a young type-II supernova. SNID reveals that 2008gi resembles SN 2006bp around two weeks past explosion; adopting a host-galaxy recession velocity of 7328 km/s for the host galaxy, H-beta is measured to be blue-shifted by roughly 7500 km/s.
