We present results of an Hi survey of the cluster of galaxies
Abell 262, using the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT).
Eleven galaxies were detected in five fields. In a few cases the gas
in these galaxies shows an asymmetrical distribution; the most likely
explanation is the interaction between the cluster medium and the gaseous
disks. Only two of the detected galaxies are slightly Hi-deficient.
At 40″ to the West of CGCG 160-049
we tentatively detect what may be an associated Hi cloud. The
total mass of this cloud is ,
and no optical counterpart has yet been found.
