                              STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF PRIMARY TUMORS IN RATS(FISCHER344) -- NICKEL OXIDE
                                                 TERMINAL SACRIFICE AT 105 WEEKS
 (a)  Number of tumor-bearing animals / number of animals examined at site.
 (b)  Kaplan-Meier estimated lifetime tumor incidence after adjustment for 
      intercurrent mortality.
 (c)  Observed incidence at interim kill.
          Male interim sacrifices(days):   199  459
          Female interim sacrifices(days): 200  460
 (d)  Observed incidence at terminal kill.
 (f)  Beneath the control incidence are the P-values associated with the trend 
      test.  Beneath the dosed group incidence are the P-values corresponding to 
      pairwise comparisons between the controls and that dosed group.  The life
      table analysis regards tumors in animals dying  prior to terminal kill as
      being (directly or indirectly) the cause of death.  The incidental tumor 
      test regards these lesions as non-fatal.  Logistic regression is an alternative
      method for analyzing the incidence of non-fatal tumors.  The Cochran-Armitage
      and Fisher's exact tests compare directly the overall incidence rates.  
      For all tests, a negative trend is indicated by "N".
 (e)  Value of Statistic cannot be computed. 
 (I)  Interim sacrifice
 (T)  Terminal sacrifice
