Soft X-ray emission was detected from Gamma Hya and 37 Com, at levels of 6-8 x 10 to the -13th ergs/sq cm per sec, during 0.2-4.0 keV observations of eight G-K giant stars obtained with the Einstein Observatory's Imaging Proportional Counter. Upper limits of about 3 x 10 to the 13th ergs/sq cm per sec were determined for the remaining stars. These results are judged to strengthen the Ayres et al (1981) findings that stellar coronae whose temperature is greater than one million K are either very weak or entirely absent among red giants and supergiants, while a large range in coronal emission exists among the yellow giant and supergiant stars.
