The Horsehead, a new-born Bok globule which is actively forming stars, is described. It appears likely that this activity was triggered by the same processes which are presently excavating it from its parental cloud. A second Bok globule, NGC 5367, which comprises a cluster of nebulous stars embedded in the cometary globule CG 12, is also discussed. The combined effects of forces such as ultraviolet radiation and erosion will probably lead to the destruction of its original globule. Optical and infrared photometry, IDS spectra, and CCD images were used to study the stars in these two globules.
