The implications of {eta} and {omega} production in antiproton-nucleus annihilation are examined by means of a simplified cascade scheme. The intranuclear absorption of the pions hidden'' in the resonances is predicted smaller than the average pion absorption measured by experiment. It is also pointed out that the reaction {omega}{ital N}{r arrow}{Lambda}{ital K} might be a significant source of {Lambda} production in antiproton-nucleus interactions. The possibility of studying {eta}-nucleus interactions is examined.
