Abstract

More than 300 measurements of magnetic field strengths in H I regions now exist. Interpretation of about 100 shows that magnetic pressure either is comparable with or dominates other pressures near at least some dark clouds and in at least some H I shells. There appears to be direct evidence for Alfvén waves, but this needs to be confirmed by additional examples. In many regions the field is highly uniform, but in other regions it varies considerably over 30 arcminutes or less. The field directions derived from Zeeman splitting and from Faraday rotation do not correlate well.
