Additional information

An earlier version of this paper was presented at the 75th annual meeting of the Western Division of the American Philosophical Association, Chicago, April 1977. There I profitted greatly from the criticism of Kenneth Konyndyk. I am also indebted to Joseph S. Ullian for many helpful suggestions.
