Abstract
ALTHOUGH a paper published about a year ago from our research laboratories, by Dr. D. M. Newitt and Mr. P. Z. Szego1, described expariments in which large yields (up to 50 per cent of th3 theoretical) of methyl alcohol had been obtained by the slow reaction of methane-air mixtures at 430° and 50 atmospheres pressure, up to then no direct evidence had been obtained of its formation during the slow combustion of methane at atmospheric pressure.
