Zheng, SU, on behalf of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II collaboration, report the discovery of fifteen supernovae on g, r, and i images taken with the SDSS 2.5-m telescope at APO by the SDSS observing team. J. Marriner, D. McGinnis (Fermilab), G. Miknaitis, A. Becker, J. Frieman, J. Holtzman, and A. Riess report confirming spectroscopy of 2007pt, 2007pu, 2007qa, and 2007qb that was obtained at the ARC 3.5-m telescope on Nov. 9 and 10 UT. R. Romani, C. Zheng, M. Sako, C. Wheeler, D. Schneider, and R. Bender, together with U. Hopp (University of Munich) and W. Kollatschny (University of Goettingen), report confirming spectroscopy that was obtained at the Hobby-Eberly Telescope on Nov. 8, 9, and 10 for 2007pn, 2007po, 2007pp, 2007pq, 2007pr, 2007ps, 2007pv, 2007pw, and 2007py. L. Watson (OSU) and J. Prieto report confirming spectroscopy of 2007px and 2007pz that was obtained at the Hiltner 2.4-m telescope at MDM Observatory on the night of Nov. 9. The discovery magnitudes tabulated below are all g magnitudes; spectroscopic redshifts are given in the column labelled z. Peak dates (all 2007) are approximate estimates either from fits to the early light curves or from the spectra, with a typical uncertainty of plus-or-minus several days; in cases where such estimates are either uncertain or very discrepant, they are not reported. Types marked with a question mark (?) imply that the type identification based on the spectrum is uncertain. SN Discov. R.A. (2000.0) Decl.
