Quantitative range chart analyses

Abstract

Max Drooger died suddenly on November 27,1981, at the age of 31, as a consequence of pneumonia and medical negligence. Chapters I - X of the present bulletin are based on a manuscript which the author had not finally checked for possible incorrect statements or duplications. We have decided to send the manuscript to the printer's as it was. At some places we have left in the text subchapters pertaining to the computer programs. These programs are available on request from the Department of Stratigraphy and Paleontology of the Utrecht State University, not from the sales office or the editor. We have added two more chapters which formed part of an earlier version of the manuscript. The original position of chapter XI was between I and II, that of chapter XII between VII and VIII. The text of chapter XIII on diversity estimates existed as a separate manuscript.
