Assuming an inclination function f(i) for transparent galaxies, we
obtain the modified distribution f(i) by the presence of opaque matter
in the disk. This makes possible new development of the statistical test
for the opacity of the spiral galaxies (Huizinga & Van Albada 1992,
MNRAS, 254, 677) based on the distribution of inclinations.
