 and its value lies midway between that of Nos. 8 and 9. 



(e) Madras. — The following valuations of samples from 

 the Nandyal and Hagari Experimental Stations show very 

 graphically the rapid deterioration which takes place even 

 in Indian cottons when their environment is altered. The 

 necessity for a continuous importation of the seeds of such 

 cottons is clearly demonstrated. 



Valuations furnished by Messrs. Tata, Sons 8f Co., Bombay, on 21st
