Optical observations of the interstellar material in front of Chi Oph are discussed. The main interstellar cloud is made up of several regions with velocities between -6 and -12 km/s (heliocentric). Both CH and CH(+) are found within this feature, but with central velocities which differ by 2 km/s. Another cloud, with a velocity of -26 km/s, contains relatively strong Ca(+) lines. It has a ratio between Ca(+) and Na(0) column densities that is appropriate for 'high-velocity' clouds. Calcium, iron, and sodium column densities are used to estimate an average electron density for the line of sight, as well as for each cloud. The abundances of CH and CH(+), and the absence of CN, are analyzed in terms of current theories about their origin.
