        Shale oil, melting 45.5° and I value 11.1 from Bujun, Manchuria, was mixed with various fatty acids, such as caprylic or stearic acid, and air was passed at 110°. Comparatively small amounts of the acids were oxidized.  If oxidation was carried out at 130°, lauric acid and stearic acid were oxidized.
