Resumen:
^{12}CO (J=1 → 0) observations towards WR 102 and its associated
nebula (G2.4+1.4) revealed the presence of two molecular concentrations
associated with them. The radial velocity of these concentrations are 24
and 13 km s^{-1}, respectively. The former represents the molecular
cloud envisaged in the model of Dopita and Lozinskaya, whilst the latter
may be molecular gas accelerated towards the observer by the strong
stellar winds. The total amount of molecular gas in this complex is
about 760 solar masses.
