Changes in the mean number of 'old' corpora albicantia with increasing corpora numbers. Two possible explanations of this rise in the number of recent corpora albicantia associated with increasing age could be advanced. One is that there is a progressive human error in the counts, a tendency to overestimate the number of recent corpora as the total number of corpora increases. This can be checked and does not account for this large increase. Another explanation is that the rate of regression becomes progressively slower with age, the duration of the' young' and ' medium' stages being longer and the number of corpora in these stages increasing. It is possible to apply a test to this hypothesis, because if the rate of regression is slower then the.
