Interferometric observations of two protostar candidates, L1551 IRS5 and IRAS 04368+2557(L1527), in Taurus have directly identified dynamically infalling motions in their circumstellar envelopes. The observed infalling envelopes have disklike structures, which are perpendicular to the associated outflows, with a thousand AU scale. In addition to infall, rotation was detected in the envelope around IRAS 04368+2557. This rotation is 5 times slower than the infall at 2000 AU in radius, suggesting that the envelope around IRAS 04368+2557 is not rotationally supported. Mass infall rates were estimated to be 10-5 Msolar yr-1 for L1551 IRS5, and 10-6 Msolar yr-1 for IRAS 04368+2557.
