 Half of the above grains were starchy and half sugary 

 (see Table 4). As it) the case of peas, the colour of the wrinkled 

 grains was a less intense yellow than that of the smooth 

 ones. The latter were a good deal paler than those of the 

 previous generation, so that the successive introduction of 

 white has some diluting effect,* but there was still no difficulty 

 in distinguishing either kind from those grains from which 

 the yellow pigment was wanting. 



* The increased size ol the grains, as compared with the j»ti^-iii--Tii*-«l 

 parent, maj account for pari "i this effect.
