[After a brief review of the Galactic molecular surveys, we discuss the distinct types of Galactic clouds. We briefly describe the large GMCs and then turn our attention to the smaller objects, like dark clouds, but with an emphasis on the flotsam of the ISM, the small diffuse and translucent clouds. We also discuss how recent work on diffuse clouds is revising our ideas of this component of the ISM.]
