Particular attention is given to the evolution of a molecular cloud which is initially subcritical but which has a mass (supported by a combination of magnetic fields and sub-Alfvenic 'turbulence') that much exceeds the Jeans mass computed on the basis of the average density and temperature. It is argued that the magnetic support of such an object will automatically lead to the production of many small cores.
