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 ATLAS and Gaia. All observations were made on 2017 Aug 15 and 16 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 -10,400 km/s.
(2) We measure a Si II 6355 velocity of -11,200 km/s.
(3) We measure a Si II 6355 velocity of -11,300 km/s.
