A general note to my readers on GC information:

Obviously, there are many types, variations, species and oils from different geographical origins. In a book of this scope, I will not be able to list the many variations of these oils. Rather, GC data that represents only one type of oil is presented. Readers are encouraged to check with their suppliers and or consult the many monographs on GC in the literature (Brian Lawrence, ESO2000, Leffingwell, BACIS, Essoildb, etc.)
