Abstract
We present submillimeter maps of regions within three large globules, CB 3, CB 34, and L 810. Our maps are centered on three IRAS sources, each of whi ch is associated with a small cluster of near-infrared young stellar object s (YSOs) as seen from deep optical and/or near-infrared observations. We ha ve detected submillimeter sources associated with the YSO clusters. The sub millimeter emission appears to be primarily from small clusters of protosta rs rather than from the sources previously detected in the near-infrared. T his result suggests that these large globules are currently adding protosta rs to these clusters. Thus, star formation within each of these large globu les appears to be a continuous process rather than a single, isolated event .
