Photographic surface photometry and rotation curves based on long-slit spectra have been obtained for NGC 1087 and NGC 1090. Both galaxies were originally considered to be members of the Cetus I group, but NGC 1090 has a velocity 5σ higher than that of the group so is probably a background object. Total masses and luminosities for the galaxies are 2.7 ± 0.2 × 1010 Msun, 1.4 × 1010 Lsun for NGC l087 and l.l ± 0.2 × 1011 Msun, 2.7 × 1010 Lsun for NGC l090, where H0 = 100 h km s-1 Mpc-1. NGC l094/ANON, apparently in the same group, are a background binary pair with combined masses > 9.4 × 1010 h-1 Msun and luminosities of 5.4 × 1010 Lsun.
