A spectrum has been obtained of two Herbig-Haro objects which are seen against the receding lobe of the bipolar outflow within the dark cloud Lynds 1551. Positive heliocentric velocities up to 90 km/s have been measured from the H-alpha line which point to an association of these emission knots with the embedded infrared source L 1551-IRS 5 rather than with other young stellar objects in this part of the sky. There is a velocity range of 50-100 km/s within each object. (S II) lambda 6716 is also detected at a strength of about 50 pct of H-alpha. Along the entire length of the slit there is broad H-alpha emission with strength about four times that normally seen in emission from the night sky. This feature partially resolves into two components, one of which we suggest is from the general Galactic field, and the other from extended bow-shock emission.
