Comments: The vacuum-ultraviolet spectra of methyl-substituted p-benzoquinones are reported and, where possible, their Rydberg structure is analysed.
The samples required heating to ca. 350 K in order to obtain sufficient vapour pressure in the  sample chamber. The solution spectra were 
measured using carefully purified acetonitrile as solvent.
