Abstract
VARIOUS hydrocarbons, but more especially methane, are common constituents of the natural gas effusions in many parts of the world, and another very common constituent is helium, though in relatively small quantities, which vary from simple traces to about 1 per cent or more. In the mid-United States of America, where large oilfields exist, and for which more complete information is available, it appears that the region in close proximity to the oil field is also a region of relatively high helium content in the gases (G. S. Rogers, Professional Paper, 121, U.S. Geological Survey, Washington, pp. 68–91; 1921).
