The field of planetary magnetism has advanced rapidly over the last four years. In fact it was not deemed necessary to review this subject in the last quadrennial report. This advance has resulted both from new data and of refined analyses of existing data files. New data have become available from Mariner 10 at Mercury, from Venera 9 and 10 orbiting Venus, and Pioneer spacecraft flying past Jupiter.
