Synthesis observations in continuum and H I line emission at 21 cm, for the case of a 2 deg field containing the IC 5146 emission nebula, show an H II region approximately 8 arcmin in diameter and continuum emission which is symmetric about the exciting star BD +46deg3474. The H I emission line is also confined to a region around the star, but is less symmetrically distributed. The total mass of the H I associated with IC 5146 is 445 + or - 105 solar masses. The absence of H I emission at approaching radial velocities at the position of the H II region substantiates other evidence to the effect that the star and H II region are on the near side of the parent molecular cloud. Using equilibrium ionization and dissociation relations for a BO V star placed 3 pc on the near side of the cloud center, it is possible to reproduce both the projected radial variation of the H I column densities and the H II emission measures.
