Scientific paper

The principal properties of dark globules are reviewed. Optical and radio (CO) data suggest masses in the range from 20 to 750 solar masses and radii from 0.15 to 1.2 parsecs. There is no evidence for fragmentation. The dust density inside near-spherical globules varies inversely as the cube of the distance from the center. There is evidence to show that several globules are in a state of collapse.
