Abstract
Searches for high latitude molecular gas have followed different strategies and been subjects of different systematics and biases. To show how these affect the emergent physical picture, we describe in some detail a few surveys and overview the development of the searches in the millimeter wave tracers.
Surveys aren’t the most important thing in astronomy - they’re the only thing. Jerry Ostriker, with apologies to Vince Lombardi and Red Sanders.

Notes
- 1.
MBM 10 is not a molecular cloud. It was included in the original catalog but the signal turned out to be the telluric line—see Sect. 4.2.2
- 2.
Now at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
