The results of the polarization observations of T Tau, RY Tau and of field stars are presented (Fig.1). The ratio p/Av for RY Tau is equal to 0.066 and is larger than the same ratio for surrounding field stars. The observed variations of the polarization parameters of T Tau and RY Tau as well as the maximum value of the ratio p/Av for RY Tau have permited already in 1964 to suggest that these stars have intrinsic polarization.
