What are the characteristic scale lengths and densities for the dark halos of galaxies, and the typical ratios of dark to luminous mass? For elliptical galaxies, the best estimates come from X-ray data which will be discussed in a later session. For spirals, the best estimates come from rotation curves. I will concentrate on the halo parameters for disk galaxies. At the end, there will be a few comments on stellar dynamical data for ellipticals, and on the unique information available for the dark halo of our Galaxy.
