A survey with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope of ^12CO J = 2-1 emission at 230 GHz was undertaken to examine the molecular emission in the Cam OB1 region to search for the presence of early star-forming activity, i.e., outflows. A second outflow, AFGL 490-iki, was detected in the vicinity of AFGL 490. It is found, on the basis of the data presented here, that AFGL 490-iki has been active for ~2 x 10^4 yr, has a total mass of ~3.4 M_&sun; in its wings, and has injected ~2.7 x 10^46 ergs into the surrounding interstellar medium. Assuming the central star, identified as IRAS 03234+5843, is nearly on the main sequence, then it would have a mass, derived from its IRAS fluxes, of ~7 M_&sun;.
