Summary Two clusters of galaxies have been observed with EXOSAT to map the distribution of cool gas. For A1367 we have detected the two brightest sources found by EINSTEIN. We confirm the identification of a X-ray source with a blue object near NGC3842. By comparing the EXOSAT and the EINSTEIN count rates we can state, either that the source is variable, or that the HI column density is low and the spectrum is either a power-law with a spectral index 〉 1.5 or thermal with a temperature below 6×106 K. For A1060 we confirm the classification from optical data of NGC3311 as the dominant galaxy but we find no evidence for a central source as inferred from the EINSTEIN data. We derive an accretion rate of ∼10Mo/yr.
