These Thurston maps are NET maps for every choice of translation term. They are primitive and have degree 17. PURE MODULAR GROUP HURWITZ EQUIVALENCE CLASSES FOR TRANSLATIONS {0} {lambda1} {lambda2,lambda1+lambda2} These pure modular group Hurwitz classes each contain infinitely many Thurston equivalence classes. The number of pure modular group Hurwitz classes in this modular group Hurwitz class is 7.

Number of excluded intervals computed by the fixed point finder: 416 NONTRIVIAL CYCLES -69/5 -> -111/8 -> -97/7 -> -83/6 -> -69/5 The slope function maps every slope to a slope: no slope maps to the nonslope. The slope function orbit of every slope p/q with |p| <= 50 and |q| <= 50 ends in one of the above cycles.
