We obtained optical spectroscopic observations of 7 transients reported to the Transient Name Server by the ATLAS survey (Tonry et al. 2011, PASP, 123, 58; Tonry et al., ATel #8680), the Pan-STARRS Survey for Transients (PSST; Huber et al., ATel #7153; http://star.pst.qub.ac.uk/ps1threepi/ ), DPAC and the ESA Gaia Photometric Science Alerts Team (http://gsaweb.ast.cam.ac.uk/alerts), and the Tsinghua University-National Astronomical Observatories of China Transient Survey (TNTS). We used the Blue Channel Spectrograph mounted on the 6.5m MMT Telescope (3400-8400 angstroms) and FAST on the 1.5m Tillinghast Telescope (3500-7300 angstroms). The classifications, shown below, were performed using SNID (Blondin & Tonry, 2007, ApJ, 666, 1024). The redshifts listed below are inferred from the best fitting SNID templates.
