Attention is given to the 'B versus n dilemma' associated with the near constancy of magnetic field strength based on H I Zeeman data over a range of gas densities. The problem is examined in terms of preferential mass flow along magnetic field lines resulting from the low thermal energy of these regions. Approximate relations have been found to scale the magnetic field strength in interstellar clouds. It is noted that the fiducial gas density for scaling the increasing magnetic field strength is 2-3 orders of magnitude above the average interstellar density often used to estimate B.
