A search for H 2520( recombination line emission was made by scanning the galactic equator region using the Molonglo radio telescope. Upper limits were established over the range of galactic longitude accessible to the instrument. For the region III ;S 40�, estimates of the background thermal continuum brightness temperature were used to derive lower limits of ~ 2000 K for the electron temperature of the gas along the line of sight. Lower limits for the electron density obtained by considering probable non-LTE effects suggest that the thermal emission over this range is due to low surface brightness HII regions. The observed H 2520( upper limit averaged over the range 270� ;S I ;S 320� just admits the line intensity calculated by Shaver (1975) for the cold cloud component of the general interstellar medium.

H109a, recombination line observations are used in an attempt to classify 46 galactic radio sources as either supernova remnants or HII regions. Long integrations at the H109a line frequency on two well-known supernova remnants (IC 443 and 3C 391) provide improved upper limits on the line emission from these objects. From these results the electron temperature in IC 443 is estimated to be in excess of 1�6 � 104 K.

Recent submillimetre observations of continuum radiation from warm dust and molecular line emission from hot gas in regions of high mass star formation are reviewed. Such regions are characterised by ultracompact HII regions around young OB stars and associated hot molecular cores which appear to harbour high mass protostars at an earlier stage of evolution.
