I SUGGEST in this report that the highly obscured galaxy IC342 might be associated with Maffei 1 and Maffei 2 (refs. 1 and 2). IC342 is the fourth largest (after M31, M33 and M101) spiral galaxy known. It is separated from Maffei 1 by less than 12° which, at a distance of 2 M parsec (Mpc), would correspond to a projected separation of only 0.4 Mpc. Available data on Maffei 1 and on IC342 are compared in Table 1.
