Extract

Many cold molecular clouds have been detected as a result of their association with dense optical obscuration. The HII region RCW 36 is contained within a prominent dust lane extending several degrees along a line of almost constant right ascension (see e.g. Rodgers et al. 1960). By means of H2CO and OH observations we have found that this lane is associated with a dense elongated molecular cloud.
