1. An old tank of propylene contained as impurity hexene and an unidentified aromatic hydrocarbon.
2. Hexenes produce a very unusual type of anaesthesia with a lethal concentration not much above the surgically anaesthetic one. They do not seem to be a potent cause of cardiac irregularities in cats.
3. Contrary to expectation a hexene does not seem to differ greatly in anaesthetic concentration from its corresponding saturated hexane.
