V O L U M E 20, NO. 1 2 , D E C E M B E R 1 9 4 8 resolution of 3-ethylpentane uncertain. Although it is probable that this cut may also contain some 3-ethylpentane, no check was made o n this point by means of infrared. Concerning the analysis shown in Table XII, Hall is correct in his contention that, 2,2-dimethylpentane should have been included with 2,2,3-triniethylbutane. Owing to an oversight by the abthors the usual grouping of these two compounds was omitted from the table. The reported presence of 2,2,3-trirnethylpentane in Table XII, on the other hand. is strongly indicated by the data, making grouping with other compounds unnecessary. It would perhaps have been expedient to group in the same table 2,2-dimethylhexane with 2,2.4-trimethylpentane. The chief limitation of the mass spectrometer method is its inability to resolve isomers having similar spectra. There conditions permit a satisfactory resolution to be made, however, experience has shown few cases in which a reliable qualitative analysis could not be established. IT.P.
