G34.3 + 0.1 has been mapped in the (1,1) and (2,2) inversion line transitions of ammonia with 2.2 arcmin resolution using the 25-m radio telescope at Chilbolton, Hampshire, and with 40 arcsec resolution using the 100-m Effelsberg telescope. The observations delineate a molecular cloud with a central core and a total mass of approximately several thousand solar masses. The 'cometary' appearance of one of its associated H II regions is probably best explained by the presence of density gradients within the molecular cloud and not, as has been suggested by Reid and Ho, by the effects of a stellar wind from the precursor to the supernova remnant W44. A detailed comparison of the LSR velocities of the ambient cloud, the OH masers, and recombination line emission from the H II region suggests that the OH masers may be part of a central turbulent disc confining a bipolar outflow. They are not part of a remnant cloud collapsing on to a recently formed H II region as proposed by Garay et al.
