The accompanying date list includes age determinations completed during the period December 1, 1961 to November 1, 1962. All measurements were made with the 2 L counter described in our first date list (GSC I). Sample preparation, counting procedures, and calculation of dates were as described in GSC I except as outlined below:

  1. a. Base and acid treatments were carried out with 1N HCl and 2% NaOH instead of 2N HCl and 4% NaOH, because the less-concentrated solutions were still strong enough to accomplish the desired purification.

  2. b. The Mg(C104)2 drying columns were removed from the purification train in order to test their effect, if any, on the purity of the gas. Since there was no detectable change in the purity of the gas these columns were left out of the purification line.

  3. c. Ages were calculated using 0.950 of the activity of the N.B.S. oxalic-acid standard as the reference activity and a.d. 1950 as the zero reference year, in line with the recommendations of the editors of Radiocarbon.
