van de Hulst (1958), in giving representative sizes of the structural details of the interstellar medium, lists the dimensions of a typical cloud, seen in 21-cm emission, as 20–70 pc but warns that we should not be surprised to find different “sizes of interstellar clouds” determined from different sets of data.
