H0 measurement from VLT deep I-band surface brightness fluctuations in NGC 564 and NGC 7619

21 cm H I line observations were made with the Arecibo Gregorian telescope of 9 H I clouds in the Hercules Cluster which were reported as tentative detections in a VLA H I study of the cluster (Dickey 1997) and for which our deep CCD imaging failed to find any optical counterparts. No sensitive observations could be made of one of these (sw-174) due to the presence of a close-by strong continuum source. The other 8 tentative H I detections were not confirmed by the Arecibo H I measurements. The CCD images did reveal faint, low surface brightness counterparts near the centres of two other VLA H I sources invisible on the Palomar Sky Survey, sw-103 and sw-194.
