proposed abbreviations:
A annual
W weekly
D daily
B bullocks
S sheep
However, if (say) these are the numbers of bullocks and sheep in the colony, why calculate the weekly and daily versions??
The A (annual) numbers can be manipulated to accurately derive the D (daily) numbers, but only approximately the W (weekly) numbers:
A A/52 (A/52)/7
B 159907 3,075.13 439.30
S 1287070 24,751.35 3,535.91
Perhaps Günther's 3057 is a mis-copying of 3075? But why the discrepancy between 24,758 and 24,751?
