We have mapped an extensive molecular cloud in Perseus in the 115 GHz line of 12CO. Observations were made every 10′ in right ascension and declination over most of the cloud, and every 2′ in the regions of most intense emission, near the open cluster IC 348 and near the reflection nebula NGC 1333. We also obtained 110 GHz 13CO data every 2′ in the latter regions, as well as every 10′ in several long strips across the cloud. A total of 812 positions were observed in 12CO, and 200 in 13CO. This work was done using the 5 m antenna of the Millimeter Wave Observatory of the University of Texas. The half-power beam size was 2!6.
