"Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
- and here we have a good example.
In fact, in the picture above, there are two fleas clearly visible. They
both occur in the region investigated in page 14 of this collection. Recall
this picture from that page; our new area of interest is within the small
white box just under halfway across and about a quarter of the way down:

We'll concentrate on the larger of the two fleas. (The investigation of the
smaller one may be left as an exercise for the reader.
Having already achieved a good result with Region #14, I decided to stay
with the same colour scheme - but with suitably modified contours, of
course. The next two pictures show how I varied the program to get an
attractive distribution of contours; the final picture is colour-coordinated
with Region #14.
