| NOTE. The numbers of individual profiles per
portal tract are shown, along with the total profiles observed per
portal tract. The total number of profiles observed also is given,
along with the numerical range and 95% confidence intervals of profiles
observed per portal tract. As some convoluted portal tracts were cut
obliquely, a large numerical range of profiles was encountered. |
