NGC 3077 is the third largest system in the M81 swarm of galaxies, after the giant spiral M81 itself and dwarf oddity M82. We are interested in exploring the fate of molecular material in NGC 3077. For that reason we have mapped the distribution of J = 1 to 0 CO emission in the central approximately 1 arcmin (1 kpc) diameter region of the galaxy using the Owens Valley millimeter-array with an angular resolution of 6.'7 x 5.'7 (110 pc x 90 pc). The results are shown on the following page as a series of velocity channel maps with delta v = 13 km s(exp -1).
