This is the second of a pair of papers devoted to the local invariants of Goursat distributions. The study of these distributions naturally leads to a tower of spaces over an arbitrary surface, called the monster tower, and thence to connections with the topic of singularities of curves on surfaces. In the prior paper we studied those invariants of Goursat distributions akin to those of curves on surfaces, which we call structural invariants. In this paper we study invariants arising from the small growth sequence of a Goursat distribution, and relate them to the the structural invariants.
