Experimental results are presented of an investigation of the depolarization of positive muons in silicon in longitudinal magnetic fields. It is shown that the mesic component of the polarization is due to thermal ionization of the ''anomalous'' muonium system. The data are discussed with allowance for the possible chemical bonding of the muonium atoms with the crystal lattice.
