The detection of a second high-velocity bipolar flow in the dark cloud B335 located in the diffuse envelope to the east of the core is reported. This flow has the same orientation as the first one. The visual extinction in the region between the redshifted and blueshifted lobes is less than or about 1 mag and is not coincident with a condensation. The flow is not associated with any known infrared source in the IRAS catalog. The new flow is about three times older than the first, and its energetics are somewhat smaller. The flows are aligned not only with each other but also with the long axis of the structure of B335 as outlined by CO maps, suggesting that magnetic fields have a role in guiding the flow. From the presence of multiple flows and the structure of the envelope, it is concluded that B335 is at the end of its starbearing life, rather than a young cloud beginning star formation, as previously supposed.
