We present Arecibo neutral hydrogen data on a sample of optically selected dwarf galaxies. The sample ranges in H I mass from 10⁶ to 5x10⁹ M_☉, with a mean of 7.9x10⁸ M_☉. Using estimated H I radii, the H I surface densities range from 0.6 to 20 M_☉.pc^–2, all well below the critical threshold for star formation (Kennicutt 1998ApJ...498..541K). M_H I_/L values of the LSB dwarfs range from 0.3 to 12 with a mean value of 2.0. Dynamical masses, calculated from the H I profile widths, range from 10⁸ to 10¹¹ M_☉. There is a strong correlation between optical luminosity and dynamical mass for LSB dwarfs implying that the dark matter (whether baryonic or nonbaryonic) follows the detectable baryonic matter.
