All unconstrained information inequalities in three or fewer random variables are known to
be" Shannon-type", in that they are nonnegative linear combinations of instances of the
inequality I (A; B| C) ges 0. In 1998, Zhang and Yeung gave the first example of an
information inequality in four variables that is not" Shannon-type". Here we give six new
unconstrained non-Shannon information inequalities in four variables. The new inequalities
are independent of each other and of the Zhang-Yeung inequality
