Molecular (C-12)O and (C-13)O and infrared (IRAS) observations of the high-latitude cloud L 1228 are presented. The CO observations show that the cloud contains a large (18 x 9 arcmin) bipolar molecular outflow centered on the infrared source IRAS 20582 + 7724. The apparent size of the outflow is one of the largest among outflows known at present. The spatial distributions of the integrated (C-13)O line emission and IRAS 100-micron brightness are similar to a high degree in L 1228. The (C-12)O line is self-absorbed at all positions of the cloud where the IR and (C-13)O emission are strong. The observed self-absorption can be explained by assuming either subthermally excited foreground gas or by a temperature gradient along the line of sight in the cloud.
