i'm guessing Coryphanta sp. for the first.
The second is a Gymnocalycium sp.

1 is not a coryphanta. it's mammillaria vetula ssp gracilis
2 is gymnocalycium baldianum with 90% certainty
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

I somehow imagined that #1 was large - if it's small M. gracilis is more likely :-)
