A photometric classification of supernovae is proposed, using the rate ..beta.. of decline in photographic brightness after maximum light as a parameter. The principal elements of the light curves, color curves, envelope expansion velocity, and absolute magnitude at maximum light depend on the photometric class of the supernova. The mean absolute magnitude of type I supernovae, corrected for absorption, is determined. The occurrence of the anomalous type I supernovae reported by Bertola is discussed.
