Low resolution International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) spectroscopic observations of two magnetic white dwarfs BPM25114 and K813-14 were obtained using both the SWP and LWP cameras. The first object has an observed magnetic field of 4 x 10(7) Gauss and the second has one of 3 x 10(7) Gauss. Both objects have overall spectral energy distributions appropriate for cool DA white dwarfs with T(eff) near 10,000 K and accordingly show strong lambda lambda 1400 and 1600 absorption in their spectra. Compared to non-magnetic DA white dwarfs of comparable effective temperature, there are some differences in the profiles, presumably produced by the magnetic fields in these objects. In addition, the ultraviolet spectra of a number of hot subluminous stars in the Kiso Schmidt survey were observed.
