 discrepancies in x values and C )^ values in the mass spectral data sheets of 

 aromatic fractions are commonly accepted because they simplify the problem of

programming the computer. No problem other than a simple arithmetic 

 calculation enters the interpretation of these data sheets. All peaks in tables 6 

 and 8 are recorded at their proper mass positions, and the masses and sizes of 

 these peaks supply in conjunction with the ultraviolet spectra of the meteoritic 

 aromatics all of the information subsequently discussed.
