  Abundances for 5 molecules (C18O, CS, NH3, H2CO, and C3H2) and 1 molecular
ion (N2H+) and upper limits for the abundances of 1 molecule (13CO) and 1
molecular ion (HCO+) are derived for gas within the Bok globule Barnard 68
(B68). The abundances were determined using our own BIMA millimeter
interferometer data and single-dish data gathered from the literature, in
conjunction with a Monte Carlo radiative transfer model. Since B68 is the only
starless core to have its density structure strongly constrained via extinction
mapping, a major uncertainty has been removed from these 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. Depletion of CS
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. Abundances
derived here for C18O and N2H+ are consistent with other, recently determined
values at positions observed in common.
