 List of Measured i, (xlO"*) Values for Inuid S-201 

 (Parameters: y^ = 4.903, b = 44.13, y = 4.06; Var- 

 iable, X = 7.55 stepped -0.2462 until -73.68) 



A more detailed comparison of the results of transverse- and longitudinal- 

 cut analyses is possible with the aid of Figs. 5 to 8, which exhibit the amplitude 

 spectrum as a function of wave number in each case. Dimensional representa- 

 tion was preferred here to facilitate direct comparison with previously published 

 material (see for example Ref. 4c). Each diagram shows in addition to the two 

 empirical spectra the corresponding theoretical spectrum and two sets of semi- 

 empirically modified spectra. These latter have been discussed at length in 

 previous work and will not be commented upon any further.
