One of the accepted criteria for comparing two independent proportions, in the case of small samples, is the so‐called “Fisher's exact test”. The authors give tables of P‐values for critical regions constructed under the optional version of the said test, and with the following characteristics: i) they do not distinguish between rows and columns, with the consequent saving of space; ii) they give P ‐values for one‐and two‐tailed tests; iii) they contain all the significant critical regions for P ‐values between 0.05% and 10%, so that the test can be carried out according to Bonferroni's rule.
