 Notes:  \dn\ median values in five intervals of stellar
mass and three redshift bins for our VVDS-F02 sample.  The error quoted in
each interval represents the error on the median distribution using a
statistical Jackknife technique.  The median values of the \dn\ distribution
in a nearby galaxy sample (SDSS DR4) are also listed.
