Diggle (1981) described covariance-based inference in a Poisson field of random discs. His approach has several attractive features, but involves heavy computation. It would usually require the observed pattern to be digitalised. We shall describe a counting procedure which can be used manually to estimate the three fundamental characteristics of a mosaic. Our assumptions about the process of overlapping laminae are the following:
