Scientific paper

We report detection of HI-emission from three 'new' dwarf galaxies Perseus A, Perseus B, and Camelopardalis D in the IC342/Maffei group of galaxies and of Draco A. The actual number of (probable) members of this group increases to 19 galaxies. Its velocity dispersion is 87 km/s. With a distance of 2.2+-0.5 Mpc this group is the nearest to the Local Group and might have considerable dynamical influence on the Local Group.
