Abstract
Observational evidence is given for the existence of substantial amounts of reddening in the nuclei of NGC 1068 and NGC 1275. The reddening agent appears to be closely confined to the semistellar nuclei of these galaxies since photometry immediately outside the nuclear region produces energy distributions similar to the presumably unreddened nuclear region of 15l. The slope of the energy distribution of the "non thermal" nucleus is substantially reduced by the reddening corrections and corrections for the stellar background.
