Near-infrared observations indicate that three H2 outflows and their driving sources are present in the globule IC 1396 W, where the existence of molecular outflows has also been suggested by some authors. We made the first CO(1-0) map of IC 1396 W, and found that its CO molecular cloud may consist of three physically distinct components with different velocities. We detected neither molecular outflows nor the dense cores associated with candidate driving sources. One possible reason is that CO(1-0) and its isotopes cannot trace high density gas, and another is that the beam of our observation is too large to observe them. The CO cloud may be one part of the natal molecular cloud of IC 1396 W, in the process of disrupting and blowing away. The CO cloud seems to be in the foreground of the H2 outflows.
