Number of strands, global curves, and comets analyzed.

992 strands (194 comets)						346 global curves (254 comets)
644 pre-perihelion (141 c.)			348 post-perihelion (112 c.)			198 pre-perihelion (198 c.)			148 post-perihelion (148 c.)
New	Int.	Old	New	Int.	Old	New	Int.	Old	New	Int.	Old
321 (61)	238 (56)	85 (24)	154 (46)	136 (42)	58 (24)	85 (85)	71 (71)	42 (42)	54 (54)	58 (58)	36 (36)

Notes. Numbers of strands and global curves split into orbital arc (pre- or post-perihelion) and Oort group. Number of comets included in each subgroup is shown in brackets. Each comet may have multiple strands but at most two global curves (1 pre- and 1 post-perihelion).
