The loglikelihood ratio R, for the ordinary power law over the truncated version, and it's significance p indicate that there is an upper truncation mass for all bins (\ref{table:properties}). Table \ref{table:properties} also shows the index $\alpha_{GMC}$, the truncation mass $M_{c,GMC}$, the truncation mass of the Schechter function $M_{s,GMC}$, the mass of the largest cloud, the mass of the fifth largest cloud, the stellar cluster index $\alpha_{cluster}$ and the stellar cluster truncation mass $M_{c, cluster}$.  $\alpha_{GMC}$ for the truncated power law changes below the cutoff mass, and it increases outward in the galaxy similar to the stellar cluster indices.  The stellar clusters are well described by a truncation for the three outer bins \cite{Adamo_2015}.
