In a recent article, George E. Andrews considers a generalization of the Rogers-Ramanujan identities involving a pair of infinite sequences of positive integers, which he calls a Ramanujan pair. He lists the known Ramanujan pairs and conjectures that there are no more. The object of this note is to establish the existence of two further Ramanujan pairs.
