Caption: Fig. 24.

Cross sections of CD material, viewed along a hypothetical symmetry axis with inclination as noted in each panel. All data are normalized by their average distance langπ﹩\arcmin﹩rang measured in bins along ﹩z^{\prime }﹩. Labels ﹩x^{\prime }﹩ and ﹩y^{\prime }﹩ are the Cartesian axes defined in Fig. 12. Symbols are the same as Fig. 19, except all shell material is designated by open circles, which are shaded gray to facilitate the viewing of other symbols. Comparison of this figure with Fig. 25 shows the most probable CD inclination is near ﹩i_{x}=40^{\circ }﹩ (see text, § 6.1.4).
