Abstract
We present the magnetic duals of G\"uven's electric-type solutions of D=11 supergravity preserving or of the D=11 supersymmetry. We interpret the electric solutions as orthogonal intersecting membranes and the magnetic solutions as orthogonal intersecting 5-branes, with ; these cases obey the general rule that -branes can self-intersect on -branes. On reduction to these solutions become electric or magnetic dilaton black holes with dilaton coupling constant (for ) or (for ). We also discuss the reduction to D=10.
