Finally the magnitude correbpomiiiig (oeacli diameter was determined 

 from all these dala by graphical smoothing. 



We counted an area of 240 D' in the Cloud. The results are 

 given in the table below. In il A^„, represents the number of stars 

 from the brightest star to the magnitude under consideration. 



The normal number of stars is calculated for the galactic latitude 

 6 = 10°. As we always use the luminosity curve for whole numbers 

 as values of the argument m ajid have counted here by half magnitudes, 

 we may deduce from the above table the following two tables:
