The measurement by Stacey et al. (1983) of the diffuse 157-micron emission of singly ionized carbon from the Galactic plane is augmented by measurements at two additional galactic longitudes. The results indicate that the total forbidden C II flux from the Galaxy is about 6 x 10 to the 7th solar luminosity - a factor of 8 lower than the previous estimate. It is likely that the measurement at l(II) = 8.0 deg was due to a knot in the forbidden C II emission. The results indicate that the forbidden C II flux has a half width of roughly 0.34 deg, in agreement with the (C-12)O (J = 1-0) half widths. The forbidden C II emission probably arises in at the edges of molecular clouds.
