The 12C(16O, α)24Mg and 12C(16O, p)27Al reactions have been studied for c.m. energies from 4.54 to 8.53 MeV to provide experimental data on their cross sections in the region of astrophysical interest. Excitation functions and angular distributions have been measured and are used to estimate the total and partial reaction cross sections for energies down to 3 MeV at which 16O + 12C nuclear burning is expected to be important in stars. The cross sections for these reactions show a pronounced resonance structure similar to that found in the 12C + 12C system. These ``quasi-molecular'' resonances are grouped just below the Coulomb barrier energy and do not appear to extend below 6 MeV in the 12C + 16O system.
