Ammonia observations of the globules L 1448 and L 1455 in Perseus show that their dense cores are fragmented in clumps of 1 - 20 M_sun;, which have central densities ≈ a few 104cm-3 and temperatures ≈12K. HC3N observations, when compared to the NH3 observations, show that the ratio R = [NH3]/[HC3N] in the Perseus globules (L 1448, L 1455, and B 1) is ≈80 - 90, i.e. about 10 times larger than in the Taurus cloudlets (TMC 1, HCL 2-A, B, C,...). The Perseus globules appear active in forming low mass stars.
