Abstract
Habing and Pottasch1 have argued that pulsars are likely to be at distances considerably greater than the commonly assumed values of ∼ 100 pc, and we have recently obtained observational evidence regarding the neutral hydrogen content in the directions of the first five known pulsars which supports this view.
