We report the spectroscopic classification of a number of transients, using spectra obtained on the 3.6m New Technology Telescope at La Silla, equipped with the EFOSC2 spectrograph using Grism #13 (3985-9315A, 18A resolution). Observations were conducted on the night of 2014 Aug. 21. Targets were obtained from the OGLE-IV wide field survey (http://ogle.astrouw.edu.pl/ogle4/transients/transients.html). The classification spectra are available from the WiseREP archive (http://wiserep.weizmann.ac.il/). We thank the PESSTO collaboration for their assistance with these observations, and in particular for the use of the PESSTO pipeline (Valenti et al., ATel #4037) for data reduction and the PESSTO marshall software and target selection.
