This paper reviews the many, by now familiar, processes that have at various times been attributed to the interstellar motions, in an effort to piece together some over-all picture of the grosser dynamical relations which might be expected to apply to the motions of the material and electromagnetic fields between the stars. We are interested in numerical values for the material densities, velocity fields, magnetic fields, etc., and we should also like to know to what extent the observed properties of the different fields are dependent upon each other.
