A system of spectral equations of magnetic turbulence in gases differing from that given by Chandrasekhar is suggested. The solution of this system is examined. Correlation and structure functions of the turbulence of interstellar gases, determined according to the data on radial velocities of interstellar clouds from Adams's catalogue, are given. For motions of a scale less than the fundamental one (l less than 80 pc) the spectral function F(k) is about k–1·71, which agrees with the theoretical conclusions.
