The role of the interstellar magnetic field in the dynamics of C(13)OJ = 1 - 0 emission to delineate gas morphology and kinematics and polarization of background starlight to determine the magnetic field direction within the Taurus Molecular Cloud Complex is investigated. The signature for a dynamically significant magnetic field is a rotating, flattened cloud with the rotational and minor axes parallel to the direction of the magnetic field. It was found that molecular regions characterized by mean densities less that 100/cu cm exhibit such magnetic signatures and are likely a result of magnetically dominated evolution.
