It is shown, that oscillators on the sphere and the pseudosphere are related, by the so-called Bohlin transformation, with the Coulomb systems on the pseudosphere. The even states of an oscillator yield the conventional Coulomb system on the pseudosphere, while the odd states yield the Coulomb system on the pseudosphere in the presence of magnetic flux tube generating spin 1/2. A similar relation is established for the oscillator on the (pseudo)sphere specified by the presence of constant uniform magnetic field B0 and the Coulomb-like system on pseudosphere specified by the presence of the magnetic field (B/2r0)(|x3/x|-ε). The correspondence between the oscillator and the Coulomb systems the higher dimensions is also discussed.
