A map of the NH3 (1,1) emission in Heiles 2 dust cloud, observed with 2.2 arc min. resolution, is presented and compared with that of the J = 9 → 8 transition of HC5N. Although the distribution of both molecules lies on a ridge, there is a marked anti-correlation in the observed antenna temperatures of the two molecules along it. This appears to be best explained as a variation in the relative abundances of the two molecules along the ridge by a factor 8-20 in a distance of 1018 cm.
