Abstract
The Neyman type-A and Thomas counting distributions provide a useful description for a broad variety of phenomena from the distribution of larvas on small plots of land to the distribution of galaxies in space. They turn out to provide a good description for the counting of photons generated by multiplied Poisson processes, as long as the time course of the multiplication is short compared with the counting time.
