        I.  Synthesis was performed with a Co-kieselguhr catalyst.  The mean molecular weight of the oil obtained increased with increasing voltage.  The I value was independent of the voltage up to 6,000 volts but decreased at 8,000 volts.  HCHO formation increased with increasing voltage.  The ratio of CO reacted to that of H₂ increases with increasing voltage.  II. The mean molecular weight decreased with rising temperature.  The I value of the oil was independent of the temperature.  HCHO formation increased with temperature.
