Three new apparent supernovae have been discovered. SN 2003cg in NGC 3169 was found by Koichi Itagati, Teppo-machi, Yamagata, Japan, on unfiltered CCD frames taken with a 0.60-m f/5.7 reflector (reported via S. Nakano, Sumoto, Japan) and by R. Arbour (cf. IAUC 8035). SN 2003ch in UGC 3787 and SN 2003ci in UGC 6212 were reported by B. Swift and W. Li (LOTOSS/KAIT; cf. IAUC 8094). The tabulated data for SN 2003cg are from Itagati, except the offset, which is computed from a measurement of the galaxy center by Y. Kushida (Yatsugatake South Base Observatory; CCD image taken by R. Kushida; communicated by Nakano). SN 2003 UT R.A. (2000.0) Decl. Mag.

SN 2003ch, Mar. 10.2, [19.0; 22.2, 17.0. SN 2003ci, Mar. 5.4, [19.0; 22.4, 17.5. SN 2003cg was not present on earlier survey images taken by R. Kushida (her most recent taken on Mar. 8) and by Arbour (on Mar. 14), and Arbour adds that it is absent from the Digitized Sky Survey. Li provides position end figures 16s.00, 1".7 for SN 2003cg. SN 1984E also appeared in NGC 3169.
