For instate,

at the higher doses you will find much more leukemia than carcinoma, because cdthe time of onset, and the animals die
before they are old enough to get carcinoma.
At the lower doses I would guess -- this may not
be the right number -- I would find there is a positive
index for leukemia production in doses above 100 roentgens or

so many.

I am not sure that this will be forthcoming when

this is written up.
