We derive here simple asymptotic estimates for both the Euler and Bernoulli numbers. The derivations follow easily from known results, but I am unable to find them elsewhere in the literature. C. Jordan [1, p. 245 and p. 303] gives some related inequalities. Other properties of these two classical sets of numbers may be found in [1], [3] and [4].
