The results of a survey of c-C3H towards several Galactic molecular clouds has detected the molecule in 13 of the 19 sources observed. A comparison between c-C3H and the only other hydrocarbon ring molecules discovered in the ISM, C3H2, reveals that the total number of c-C3H molecules = 0.0904 + or - 0.0287 times the total number of C3H2 molecules. The warmer sources in the survey show no systematic differences in the ratio of the total number of c-C3H molecules to the total number of C3H2 molecules when compared to their cold cloud counterparts. This observed abundance correlation suggests that the two ring molecules have a common precursor in C3H3(+).
