There is no laccolite of the upper zone so large as the smallest in the
lower zone; and the mean diameter of those in the lower zone is double
the mean of those in the upper. The measurements do not give the
diameters of limital areas, but it is presumable that the actual areas
bear substantially the same relation to the limital in the two zones. If
we select the smallest laccolites in each group as those most likely to
express the limital areas, the result is practically the same.

The mean for the lower zone is still double the mean for the upper.
