Faraday rotation measurements have been made on a sample of 163 pulsars, increasing the number available for statistical analyses by a factor of 3. These data are presented in a table together with many improved values of dispersion measure. The observations probe the galactic magnetic field over greater distances than previously possible, and show that it is uniform over large regions.
