Evidence is presented to the effect that the CO emission previously associated with the northern rim of the redshifted lobe of the L1551/IRS 5 outflow may be produced by the interaction of the HH-30 optical jet and with the L1551 molecular cloud. It is concluded that the redshifted lobe of L1551/IRS 5 is more collimated than was previously thought and the high-velocity CO in this lobe may be confined to an incomplete shell. The molecular outflow associated with HH-30 may be dynamically distinct from the compact flow previously recognized to exist in the HL/XZ Tau region. The discovery of a second new outflow in the L1551 cloud, L1551W, is reported; it consists of a lobe of redshifted emission centered about 17 arcmin west of IRS 5. No obvious infrared candidate for the exciting source of this outflow is found.
