8 sp & upwards ­── 7— 4 both inclusive.

You will have to pick out & make list from big side, the genera with 7 & 6 sp. subtract from big side & this will give you the big side.—

Add to the genera with 7 & 6, those with 5, which are already added up & then pick out from small side all those with 4 species, & this will give you small side. Divide 2d column by first & 3d column by second.─
