Abstract: ALMA 12CO(1-0) observations of 42 star-forming regions located outside the disc of the Virgo Cluster galaxy NGC4254 within an HI gas tail produced during the galaxy's interaction with another cluster member have revealed the presence of ten giant molecular clouds (GMCs) in four of these regions. All of the GMCs were resolved at the angular resolution of the observations (~160 pc) and have molecular gas masses of M(H2)~(0.8-2.0)x10^6} Mo. These ten
