GOLDMine distance vs. the velocity of the Virgo BCDs. The vertical solid line at v_LG = 1900 km s^-1 corresponds to the limit from which galaxies belong to the M and W cloud according to Gavazzi et al. (1999). The three BCDs in the box lie in the projected cloud region, but are below or only slightly above this velocity limit. We therefore adopt a distance of 16.5 Mpc for them instead of the GOLDMine distance of 32 Mpc.
