We report the following classifications of optical transients from spectroscopic observations with KOSMOS on the KPNO Mayall 4-m telescope. Targets were supplied by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) and the ATLAS project (ATel #8680). Observations were made on 2017 Jan 31 UT. Classifications were performed with SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024).

Notes:
When the redshift is given to 2 decimal places, it is derived from the SN spectrum. Otherwise, the redshift is determined from the host galaxy.
(1) We measure a Si II 6355 velocity of -12,700 km/s.
(2) The spectrum exhibits featureless red continuum.
(3) We measure an Hbeta velocity of -11,500 km/s.
(4) We measure a Si II 6355 velocity of -10,600 km/s.
(5) We measure a Si II 6355 velocity of -13,900 km/s.
(6) We measure a Si II 6355 velocity of -12,400 km/s.
