This work is devoted to the investigation of the quantum mechanical systems on the two-dimensional hyperboloid which admits separation of variables in at least two coordinate systems. Here we consider two potentials introduced in a paper of C. P. Boyer, E. G. Kalnins, and P. Winternitz [J. Math. Phys. 24, 2022 (1983)], which have not yet been studied. We give an example of an interbasis expansion and work out the structure of the quadratic algebra generated by the integrals of motion.
