The development of primary cancers and their subsequent metastases occur through a complex sequence of discrete steps. A hypothesis is proposed here whereby the time available for the growth of metastases is normally distributed, presumably as a consequence of the summation of multiple independently

## Abstract A variety of models for the wildfire size distribution are examined using data on Los Angeles County wildfires greater than 100 acres between 1950 and 2000. In addition to graphs and likelihood criteria, KolmogorovโSmirnoff and Cramerโvon Mises statistics are used to compare the models.
It is shown that the size-frequency distribution (SFD) of a timeaveraged projectile population derived from the lunar crater SFD of Neukum and Ivanov (in Hazards Due to Comets and Asteroids (T. Gehrels, Ed.), 1994, pp. 359-416, Univ. of Arizona Press, Tucson) provides a convincing fit to the SFD of
This article deals with the theoretical size (number of species) distribution of live genera, arising from a simple model of macroevolution in which speciations and extinctions are assumed to occur independently and at random, and in which new genera are formed by the random splitting of existing ge
