Dolginov et al. (1972, 1973) presented evidence for a Mars magnetic field based on Mars 2 and 3 measurements. This evidence is somewhat complex, based on a combination of arguments including the position of the bow shock, the identification of magnetopause crossings, and the simultaneous behavior of the plasma and the field. The evidence rests most heavily on one pass of Mars 3 on December 1, 1972 from which Dolginov et al. deduce the direction and orientation of the magnetic moment of Mars. It is the purpose of the present note that there is no reason to suppose that Mars 3 penetrated the Mars magnetosphere on this pass, that because of their locations all other putative magnetopause crossings are suspect and that the effective obstacle height is coincident with the height of the Mars ionosphere to within the accuracy of our knowledge of the proper scaling law for planetary bow shocks.
