UENRY A. LEY, geologist for the Rio Oil Co. of Fort
Worth, deserves congratulations and high praise for
the publication by the American Assn, of Petroleum Geolo-
gists of the monumental volume, “Geology of Natural Gas,"
which came off the press recently. Mr. Ley edited the 1228-
page work which was under preparation for more than three |
years and for him it was a scientific labor of love.
Oil men as well as gas men should peruse this volume
because there is much in it which has

Structurally, Mr. Ley points-—
out, the occurrence of gas is no
different from oil. A few large

Before his Holy Land experl-'

this country, Mr. Le worked for
the Sun Oil Co. In Dallas. From
1924 to 1926 he was chief geol-
ogist for the Skelly Oil Co. in
Tulsa. Then he spent six years
as an Independent, most of his
time having been devoted to
natural gas, and, in 1932, he
joined the Rio organization. He
