Luminosity functions of elliptical and spheroidal galaxies in the Virgo Cluster. This figure is adapted from Sandage et al. (1985b), who used the traditional name "dE" for spheroidals. We have updated the Hubble constant from H 0 = 50 to 70 km s −1 Mpc −1. Note that magnitudes are in B band here but in V band in the rest of this paper.
