Scientific paper

A description is given of the results of a study of the mean lifetime of molecular clouds based on actual observations. Using the model of growth from cloud-cloud collision and observations of (C-13)O along the galactic equator between longitudes 27.85 deg and 40 deg, a lower limit of 1 x 10 to the 9th yr is derived for the lifetime of the interstellar molecular clouds.
