We present ground-based observations with the coude spectrograph of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope aimed at revealing the presence of OH in the cloud located in front of HD 27778. The 3070--3080 A spectral range was successfully studied and exhibited the presence of five transitions of OH located around 3072.0, 3078.4, and 3081.7 A toward zeta Per and HD 27778. The deduced column density of OH in zeta Per confirms the previous results of Chaffee & Lutz and is equal to 1014 cm-2 in HD 27778. An inversion in the populations of the Lamda doublet ground level is found in this line of sight. We also detected lines at 3072.9 A which we tentatively identify as due to the presence of Ti II in two different atomic clouds, as was already found by Stokes toward zeta Per with a somewhat lower column density.
