75 Euridyke and 27 Euterpe were observed under small phase angles and air mass differences with the same reference star of solar type (HD11170) in the course of a night. A scanning spectrophotometer operating in the mode of photon counting in the {3380--7617 Angstroms} range with a resolution of {48 Angstroms} mounted on the 1.25-m telescope in Crimea was used. The obtained reflectance spectra are similar in general shapes to those of other asteroids of corresponding classes [1]. So the bodies may have ordinary contents. On the spectra there are the following absorption features exeeded the error limits (RMSD). For 75 Eurydike these are at {5100 Angstroms} ( ~ 10% with a width of ~ {200 Angstroms}) and {6300 Angstroms} ( ~ 8% with a width of ~ {300 Angstroms}). For 27 Euterpe there are {5100 Angstroms} and {5650 Angstroms} (3--4% with widths of {200 Angstroms}), {6000 Angstroms} and {6550 Angstroms} (2--3% with widths of {400--500 Angstroms}) weak absorption bands. The common spectral features on the bodies at {5100 Angstroms} and {5650 Angstroms} may be a result of crystal-field transitions of Fe(2+) in pyroxenes as in lunar those [2]. The specific absorption band for 75 Eurydike at {6300 Angstroms} may be caused by charge transfer transitions Fe(2+) -Fe(3+) in oxidized pyroxenes as on Earth [4]. The features on the 27 Euterpe's spectra at {6000 Angstroms} and {6550 Angstroms} may arise in oxidized Fe-Ni metal and spinel-group minerals as on other S asteroids [3]. The results show that regolithes of both M and S asteroids may contain pyroxenes and Fe-Ni metal including their oxidized states as common factors influencing optical properties of the bodies.
