Summary: | Fig. 8. Frequency distributions of the largest dimensions of the two forms found in the greatest abundance. The left panel shows the distribution of 53 specimens of the form shown in Fig. 6E, resembling Meunier's Fusopsis umbracula (Fig. 1B), parsed into size-classes of longest dimension. The right panel shows the distribution of 20 specimens of the form shown in Fig. 7B, resembling Meunier's Sphaeropsis brevisetosa (Fig. 1S), parsed into size-classes of longest dimension. The distributions of the size-classes appears more 'normal' than bi-modal' suggesting that single populations were sampled with wide size-ranges.
