IR observations with the IRAS satellite have revealed in the galaxy a lot of point-like unidentified sources: they have no optical or radiocontinuum counterpart, and cannot be known stars, nor H II regions. We have undertaken mm-wave observations of a sample of ∼ 100 of these sources with the Bordeaux telescope (beamsize = 4.4′ ∼ IRAS resolution). These sources seem to be associated with protostars or young stars still embedded in molecular clouds. Some of the sources present high-velocity wings, suggesting a bipolar gaseous ejection from the protostar.
