   We propose 40 ksec ASCA observations of two Seyfert 2 galaxies, MKN 78
   and NGC5674. Both sources have X-ray characteristics which make them
   peculiar among Seyfert 2 galaxies: MKN 78 is underluminous in the 2-10
   keV band based on optical-infrared properties as well as to a possible
   BATSE detection, while NGC5674 is a flat X-ray spectrum source. These
   two objects cannot be easily explained within the framework of the
   unified theory of Seyferts: either they are galaxies intrinsically
   different than Seyferts 1 or the unified theory has to be modified to
   accomodate both of them. ASCA data will provide a unique possibility to
   understand the origin of the emission in both sources and to highlight
   any difference from Seyferts 1.
