pressure. Much attention has been given to these determinations, espe- 

 cially by Messrs. O. J. Sieplein and R. P. Cushing. 



The preparation of the distillates described in this paper was begun 

 December 1, 1896, by Mr. A. S. Kittelberger, who distilled 56 kilos of 

 Pennsylvania crude oil. The distillations were later continued by 

 different assistants. The following gentlemen have also aided in the 

 purification, examination, and analysis of these hydrocarbons: Messrs. 

 Shaw, Latimer, R. P. Cushing, Dr. E. J. Hudson, and O. J. Sieplein. 

 To the latter especially is due the analysis and identification of the 

 chlorine derivatives of the hydrocarbons.
