actual variation in the gas:

It is interesting also to compare the above analysis of the 
Marion gas supply with the one which we have recently made. 
(See table 27, p. 270.) 
Several discussions of the composition of Indiana gas are 
given in the various reports of the state natural gas inspector.1*4 
In a paper on the “Utilization of Natural Gas,” written by 
Klwood Haynes,!*° there is given the following composition of 
natural gas by weight:

Neither is any definite information given as to the analyst 
whose results on the ‘‘Composition of the Hydrocarbons in 
Natural Gas” are given on page 402 of the same paper. The

The available published analyses of Indiana gases cover only 
a comparatively small area of the gas-producing regions of the 
state. It would seem desirable that further work be done along 
this line on the gases from outlying districts and in more re- 
cently discovered fields.
