The 0.9 x 10^9^ M_sun_ of H_2_ at the nucleus of NGC 3690 extends to radii of 310 pc and probably sustains a starburst. A compact source (radius <= 250 pc) of mass 3.9 x 10^9^ M_sun_ is found at the nucleus of IC 694; this galaxy may harbor an AGN. At least three discrete subcondensations, probably active star-forming knots, are detected in the 1800 x 640 pc overlap region.
