Additional data for gabbro, GOG‐1, were determined by instrumental‐neutron‐activation analysis, atomic‐absorption spectrometry, and semi‐quantitative spectrographic analysis. F ratios calculated in the analysis of variance for 26 sets of data for elements determined by the three methods were not significant, and hence the elements are distributed homogeneously among the bottles. The agreement between our data and the averages previously published ranges from very good to poor. More analytical data are necessary to establish reliable estimates of the concentrations of elements in GOG‐1 and in two other gabbros so that three gabbros may be available to geochemists for use as standards.
