\label{fig:mass_of_bones}: A comparison of the physical properties ofNessie and  the Bone candidates, based on a similar table from \citet{Goodman_2014}. We assume the filaments are cylindrically shaped, and calculate the volume based on measured  with radius, length, radius  and length. We \textit{estimate} an  average H$_2$ column  density appropriate to the a  GLIMPSE mid-infrared extinction features. The assumed distance features ($\approx2\rm{E}+22 \rm{cm}^{-2}$) but plan  to Nessie was 3.1 kpc, while the assumed distances perform extinction mapping on each candidate  to the ten bone candidates are listed physically measure this parameter  infigure \ref{fig:candidates}. \citet{Goodman_2014} chose an average density of $10^5 \textrm{ cm}^{-3}$ to produce a visual extinction of 100 magnitudes, typical for  a long, filamentary IRDC. follow-up study.
