From this table and the actual numbers in the observed classes as
read from a smoothed curve, the numbers of each actual ellipticity
mingled in the observed classes can be determined. For instance, the
four nebulae observed as E7 represent 0.187 of the total number of
actual E7. The others are distributed among the observed classes E0
to E6 according to the percentages listed in Table X. Six nebulae are
observed as E6, but 3.6 of these are actually E7. The remaining 2.4
actual E6 nebulae represent 0.224 of the total number of that actual
ellipticity, the others, as before, being scattered among the observed
classes E0 to E5. Table XI gives the complete analysis and is similar
to Table X except that the percentages in the latter are replaced by
the actual numbers indicated by the observations.
Finally, the mean values of C_{7} – C_{e} are calculated from the
numbers of nebulae in the various columns of Table XI together with
the values of C_{7} – C_{e} for the pure classes as derived from
formula (4). The results are listed in the fourth column of Table XII
following those for the pure and the observed classes. In determining
the observed values, N.G.C. 524 and 3998 are included as E0 and
E1, although in Table I they are listed as peculiar, because they are
obviously much flattened nebulae whose minor axes are close to the line
of sight.
