Molecular line maps of the high density gas surrounding the embedded IR sources L1551-IRS5 and B335-IR have been made in the J=2-1 and 3-2 transitions of CS and the J=1-0 and 2-1 transitions of (C-18)O. A compact source of broad line emission is observed close to B335. A compact structure centered on L1551 is also observed. The mass of the structure in L1551 is estimated at 0.3 solar masses. The observations make it doubtful that there is a large scale rotating disk surrounding L1551-IRS5. The results demonstrate that excitation effects are important in determining the morphology of molecular line maps.
