 826.  Average Female Contribution to Subsistence

           *   Percentages, computed from weighted sum of variables: 

           *   814x821 + 815x822 + 816x823 + 817x824 + 818x825 
           *   -----------------------------------------------
           *                 100 - 819

       This differs from Barry's calculations by at most 1%.   Two additional 
       societies are coded with 50% or more trade dependence.
