          syndio-isoblock polypropylene polymers produced in accordance

          C-13 NMR spectra of the polymer composition produced by the                 
          process of each of the examples.  The Figure of Dolle                       
          Application 08/147,006 depicts a C-13 NMR spectrum.  Each peak
