Description
L988 is a large (~0.5{deg}x0.7{deg}) dark cloud complex at about 600pc that contains several bright pre-main-sequence objects (such as V1331 Cyg and LkH{alpha} 321), but this paper deals in detail only with a small region on its eastern edge, near the HAeBe star LkH{alpha} 324. That star and its distant companion LkH{alpha} 324SE lie at the apex of a V-shaped area apparently excavated from the edge of L988, and are the brightest members of a small cluster containing about 50 H{alpha}-emission stars.
