Analyses of Kansas Natural Gas. 
The work given below was done in the laboratories of the 
Department of Chemistry of the University of Kansas during 
the years 1905-1907. A considerable part of the results have 
already been published in a paper by Cady and McFarland," 
and the authors have made a number of abstracts from this 
paper in the present chapter. Additional analyses have been 
made since this publication, and some calorimetric work has 
been done.
