SN 2003hi is also absent from Palomar Sky Survey 1991 red and 1988 blue plates. SN 2003hj is also absent on Palomar Sky Survey 1987 red and 1990 blue plates. SN 2003hk is also absent on Palomar Sky Survey 1990 red and 1992 blue plates. Position end figures for SN 2003hk from Li: 25s.76, 32".2 (or 6".3 east and 5".9 north of the nucleus of NGC 1085).
