ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
First, we would like to acknowledge the encouragement we have received from
E. M. Romney, E. B. Fowler, G. W. Bradley, and W. Martin for attempting a
first cut at synthesizing data from the safety-shot sites.
Glen Bradley and
Ken Moor have been most helpful in providing us with data and background
information on small vertebrate data. Our conversations with Bill Martin and
S. G. Bloom have also given us a better understanding of their model. A
special note of thanks goes to Tony Olsen of Battelle-Northwest for taking the
time to discuss with us the statistical treatment and display of data, particularly stem-and-leaf displays.
The support of P. B. Dunaway and M. G. White
for the application of statistical design and analysis methods in the NAEG
program is much appreciated as is their personal encouragement and support.
Special thanks are also extended to Mary Lou Lomon and Marsha Blixt for typing
