Abstract
IN plotting the results of experiments it is often necessary to use different marks for points, to distinguish between the results obtained by different investigators or to allow rapid reference to numbered experiments. Circles, dots, triangles, crosses, and coloured inks are commonly used for this purpose, with or without the addition of identifying letters or numbers.
