Optical observations of the interstellar material in front of chi Oph are discussed. The main interstellar cloud is made up of several regions with velocities between -6 and -12 km s/sup -1/ (heliocentric). Both CH and CH/sup +/ are found within this feature, but with central velocities which differ by 2 km s/sup -1/. Another cloud, with a velocity of -26 km s/sup -1/, contains relatively strong Ca/sup +/ lines. It has a ratio between Ca/sup +/ and Na/sup 0/ column densities that is appropriate for 'high-velocity' clouds. Calcium, iron, and sodium column densities are used to estimate an average electron density for the line of sight as well as for each cloud. The abundances of CH and CH/sup +/ , and the absence of CN, are analyzed in terms of current theories about their origin.
