Abstract
It has recently been suggested that there may be an infinite number of independent exponents hidden in the tails of the probability distribution of average percolation cluster numbers. A simple approximation of non-Gaussian effects was used to deduce this result and we show that this approximation is questionable. Extensive simulations of the cluster distribution have been made and an interesting dependence of the cumulants on concentration and range of summation has been observed.
