Abundances in interstellar clouds, as determined from interstellar absorption lines, are discussed first, including abundances in ‘abnormal’ (high-velocity) clouds. HII-region abundances are then discussed and compared to results from the interstellar clouds. The present status of an abundance gradient as determined from HII regions is given. Abundances in planetary nebulae are then given for various categories of nebulae, and compared to HII regions. Finally a short status report on abundances near the galactic center is given.
