A very simple method to take into account the upper limits of detection is used to study and discuss the distribution of the H I contents of 122 lenticular galaxies. The results show the Virgo cluster S0s to be H I deficient when compared to the noncluster ones, and the H I contents of the latter to be about five times lower than the ones of the S0/a spirals and to increase along the de Vaucouleurs sequence of types -3 to -1. It is shown that the early spirals in Virgo are H I-deficient by a factor higher than 10, i.e., they have no more gas than noncluster S0s. It is argued that noncluster S0s have a primordial origin, and that a substantial proportion of Virgo S0s come from stripped early spirals.
