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 in the year's average.
