dc.descriptionTantalizing evidence has been presented supporting the suggestion that a large population of extragalactic gas clouds permeates the Local Group, a population which has been associated with the Galactic High-Velocity Clouds (HVCs). We comment on both the strengths and weaknesses of this suggestion, informally referred to as the Blitz/Spergel picture. Theoretical predictions for the spatial and kinematic distributions, metallicities, distances, and emission properties of Blitz/Spergel HVCs will be confronted with extant observational data.
