Molecular Abundances in B68
  Abundances for C18O, CS, NH3, H2CO, C3H2, and N2H+ and upper limits for the abundances of 13CO and HCO+ are derived for gas within the Bok globule B68 using our own BIMA array data, single-dish data from the literature, and Monte Carlo radiative transfer models. B68 has had its density structure well determined, removing a major uncertainty from abundance determinations. All abundances for B68 are lower than those derived for translucent and cold dense clouds, but perhaps only significantly for N2H+, NH3, and C3H2. CS depletion toward the extinction peak of B68 is hinted at by the large offset between the extinction peak and the position of maximum CS line brightness. C18O and N2H+ abundances derived here are consistent with recently determined values at positions observed in common.
