29. We have tested these structures against the data of Brown (Ref.). Assuming a circular envelope for the spins and an equal population of the two chiral domains, we obtain the following fits: M b (1) M v (1), χ 2 ? 180; M b (2) M v (2), χ 2 ? 870. For comparison, we find for M b (1) M v (2), χ 2 ? 5.4.
