UV observations of 27 galaxies with known H I fluxes in the field of the Abell 1367 cluster are reported. Data obtained at 200 nm using the 40-cm FOCA balloon-borne UV telescopes on flights from Aire-sur-Adour (France) in May 1987 and April 1988 are presented in tables and graphs and analyzed in detail, with reference to the 21-cm radio observations of Gavazzi (1987). The star-formation rates of the galaxies are determined and shown to be similar to those found for a sample of field galaxies by Donas et al. (1987). Evidence for the formation of intermediate-mass stars within the last 100 Myr is found in most of the galaxies with H I surface density of 3 x 10 to the 20th atoms/sq cm or less.
