  Spectra at the Earth of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) from Seyfert
nuclei with red shifts z<=0.0092 and from Blue Lacertae objects (BL Lac's) are
calculated. The spectra are compared with the experimental data. It is shown
that in nearby Seyferts the initial spectrum of the UHECRs is most likely the
exponential one. UHECRs from BL Lac's may have the monoenergetic initial
spectrum with the energy of 10^21 eV to fit to the data. Spectra at the Earth
derived in these two models are very similar if there is no Bl Lac's with red
shifts z<0.02. The maximal energy in cosmic rays seemingly does not exceed
10^21 eV. In calculations we used red shift distributions of the objects
according to the recent (2001) catalogue of active nuclei by Veron-Cetty and
Veron (see ref. in the text).
