In the last quarter, we focused on steady, fully developed, gravity-driven flows of identical, smooth spheres down bumpy inclines, with flow depths greater than one particle diameter, solid fraction profiles everywhere less than .65, and dimensionless granular temperature T(y={beta}) at the top between 0 and 20. In this quarter, we continue the same parameter study by choosing other sets of values of r,{delta}, e, e{sub w}, and {phi}for which we know that at least one solution of the type described above may be maintained, and determine the complete range of T(y={beta}) (within O
