Scientific paper

UBVY-beta photometry has been carried out for stars in and near the Bok globule B361. These data have been supplemented by star counts over the surface of the globule. This object is nearly circularly symmetric, and the statistics of the star counts indicate that the distribution of absorption in the globule is quite smooth. The distance of this object is found to be 350 pc and its mass is at least 73 solar masses. The variation of extinction with distance from the cloud center does not agree with models of collapsing clouds, but the virial theorem indicates that the object will collapse if the temperature is about 10 K.
