Abstract
An estimate of the galactic magnetic field is obtained by combining new results in the cosmic-ray electron spectruin and the recent radio data. The lower and upper limits of the magnetic field in the galactic disk are derived from two alternative models of field configuration; i.e. (0.5-1.0) X gauss near the solar system and (1.0-2.0) X gauss near the galactic center, respectively. The magnetic field in the halo is estimated to be larger than 2.5 X gauss.
