i In this and other tables the year is divided into 13 periods of 4 weeks each, consequently the periods 

 only represent in general the months indicated and thus it is necessary to show two periods in one month 

 during the year (May). The actual dates of these periods for each pen are given in the text following 

 Table 4c. 



2 Figures in parentheses belong to the following year's record and are inserted here to make the monthly 

 comparisons complete; they are not included iu the year's average.
