In a sample of 19×106 produced B mesons, we have observed the decays B→ηK* and improved our previous measurements of B→η′K. The branching fractions we measure for these decay modes are B(B+→ηK*+) = (26.4-8.2+9.6±3.3)×10-6, B(B0→ηK*0) = (13.8-4.6+5.5±1.6)×10-6, B(B+→η′K+) = (80-9+10±7)×10-6, and B(B0→η′K0) = (89-16+18±9)×10-6. We have searched with comparable sensitivity for related decays and report upper limits for these branching fractions.
