Here are the nine figures for Daniel Newsome's essay.  The links titled in the form, "Figure X: 600dpi" are the links to the high resolution images.  If you wish to download the high resolution (600dpi) images, right-click these titles and save to your hard drive. The images you see below are all low resolution (between 150dpi and 180dpi).
