Evidence is presented for spots, plages, and flares on the noneclipsing RS CVn system II Peg and V 711 Tau. The large spot originally found on II Peg in 1981.8 could still be identified in 1983. Two spectroscopic flares of II Peg were detected. For the larger flare the fluxes in the strongest transition-region lines reached about six times their quiescent values. A comparison of the 1981 and 1983 flux variations show that active regions or plages are located on one hemisphere. On V 711 Tau at least two flares were observed. Outside of these flares, the strongest chromospheric and transition-region emission lines exhibited weak phase-dependent variations that persist over 173 orbital cycles (1981-1983) and are possibly associated with one of the proposed spots. For both stellar systems the fluxes from the higher temperature emission lines showed the greatest variations.
