Two newly identified Ae stars, nu Cyg and kappa UMa, were discovered in the course of the Magnetic Survey of Bright MS stars (Monin et al. 2002). We pre sent their Halpha profiles along with measurements of their equivalent width and parameters of emission features. Emission in the Halpha line of nu Cyg is variable on a time scale of 3 years. kappa UMa exhibits weak emission which is rather stable. The emission is thought to arise from a circumstellar disk, and we have estimated the size of that disk.Both new emission stars are IRAS sources. Their IR color excesses are consistent with those of classical Ae stars. Thus, nu Cyg and kappa UMa appear not to belong to the class of Herbig Ae/Be stars. We argue that the frequency of Ae stars may be underestimated due to the difficulty of detection of weak emission in some A stars.
