Light curves for the optical counterparts of SXP65.8 and SXP101 have been examined for photometric periodicities. SXP65.8 is associated with the emission-line star [MA93] 1619 and identified with entries 206.17055.21 and SMC_SC11_48835 in the MACHO and OGLE-II databases, respectively. There is a signal at P=110 days (or possibly half this value), which may be the orbital period. Other periodicities are also present (near 5.80 days, 1.62 days, and their aliases) that may be caused by nonradial pulsations of the primary star. SXP101 is identified with star 211.16415.11 in the MACHO database. Period analysis reveals a signal near P=22 days. The folded light curve shows recurring outbursts, suggesting this is an orbital period.
