Disk dust mass and stellar mass are shown for a collection of labeled PMCs with dust mass estimates from millimeter observations. Dust to star mass ratios are shown in red for a collection of stars in the Taurus (Andrews et al. 2013), Lupus (Ansdell et al. 2016), and Sco Cen (van der Plas et al. 2016) star-forming regions. 3σ upper limits are represented with triangles. The dashed vertical line represents the ﹩13\,{M}_{\mathrm{Jup}}﹩ mass deuterium burning limit, while the solid diagonal line represents a 0.0001 ﹩{M}_{\mathrm{Dust}}/{M}_{* }﹩ ratio. The disk dust mass estimates for the PMCs are generally lower than expected for the mass of the object with the exception of FW Tau C, which has an exceptionally large dust mass.
