The survey of 21-cm galactic absorption towards 819 extragalactic sources, recently carried out with the Nancay radio telescope (Crovisier et al. 1978) provides a sample of absorbing neutral hydrogen clouds which is an order of magnitude larger than those resulting from other available surveys (Hughes et al. 1971, Radhakrishnan et al. 1972, Lazareff 1975, and Dickey et al. 1978). A statistical study of this sample offers insight into the properties of local interstellar matter.
