The dark cloud Lynds 134 has been mapped in the 21-cm H I line using the 100-m telescope at Effelsberg and the 64-m telescope at Parkes. Two narrow self-absorption lines were detected: Comp. A at 2.7 km/s and Comp. B at 0.7 km/s. Comp. A is the counterpart of molecular lines in L 134 and coincides with the maximum of optical absorption; Comp. B is probably a point source and is situated well outside the optically opaque area, about 13 arcmin to the southeast of Comp. A. Least-squares fits of a radiative transfer model to the absorption lines give spin temperatures in the ranges 5-12 and 10-20 K for Comp. A and Comp. B, respectively.
