The authors have used the IRAM 30-m telescope (HPBW = 22 arcsec) to map the J = 1→0 transition of C18O in the neighbourhood of the embedded infrared sources in B 335 and L 1551. More limited C18O measurements have been made towards L 1455 and the authors have also observed the 13CO J = 1→0 transition towards all three of these sources. By comparing the results with previous measurements of the sub-mm dust continuum, it is concluded that the CO/H2 abundance ratios in B 335 and L 1455 may be below the average interstellar value. The authors discuss the evidence that, from virial theorem considerations as well as directly from their CO results, there is approximately a solar mass of gas orbiting in a region of approximately 1017cm radius around the central star. In the case of L 1551, a high density clump is observed which may have recently been ablated from the circumstellar region and become caught up in the red shifted flow.
