30. 24 heats of formation of a few of the relevant phenyl hydrocarbons were based redundantly on a mean of values that included those few experimental values noted and those calculated by the method of group equivalents, which, of course, had been based on the same data but gave somewhat different results. Recalculations that omit the latter values have led to a few quite minor modifications.
