Observations at 408 MHz of two extended features corresponding to objects in Lynds' (1965) catalog of bright nebulae are presented. These are LBN 140.77 - 1.42, which corresponds to a linear radio ridge roughly 2 deg in extent that is approximately perpendicular to the Galactic plane, and LBN 139.57 + 2.70, which shows a partial radio ring roughly 12 arcmin in radius. The radio emission from LBN 140.77 - 1.42 has a thermal spectrum, and it coincides with the western edge of a large 'spur' that is evident in atomic hydrogen in the Perseus arm. Part of this 'spur' is also evident in the infrared at all IRAS wavebands. Thus, LBN 140.77 - 1.42 appears to be a remarkably large-scale ionization front penetrating a large interstellar cloud. The nature of LBN 139.57 + 2.70 is not clear.
