Oh, re my last post - I should have added that by my own logic, looks
like "logarithmical" would be wrong in your example because
'logarithmic(AL) area ratio' would seem to refer to something which
is by nature a logarithm. Now the question arises: what part of this
expression
is logarithmic - the area or the ratio? (heh heh).

The only way I could imagine using a word like "logarithmical" is perhaps
on
a quick reference card "the logarithmical chart", but even there it's
butt-ugly.
