Yes, thanks, James -- the caption for Figure 4 has a number of errors.  It
should read: [left] f_X = 0.2 (pink), f_X = 2.0 (green); [middle] f_abs =
0.2 (pink), f_abs = 0.04 (green); [right] alpha = -3.6 (pink), alpha =
-10.9 (green).  I tried to make the pink curve be the same fiducial model
in all three panels, and clearly messed up the legend in the process.

Your suggestion for Figure 7 is a good one.  Eventually the power law star
formation rate model becomes a bad approximation (the SFRD turns over), but
it's still a fine model at z = 7.
