 reach 40 per cent. The white-flowered variety 

 is being separated from the yellow and a large 

 number of single plant selections of all three 

 kinds have been made. No markedly different 

 types have been observed so far in Wa-gyi ' 

 (the long-lived Burma cotton) and the crop 

 appears to be fairly uniform. Further ob- 

 servations, however, are being made this year." 



As in former years, I have to thank Messrs. Tata, Sons 

 & Co., for the trouble they have taken in furnishing valua- 

 tions of the numerous samples of cotton submitted to them. 



III. Programme of work for the year 1915-16. 



(1) To visit and advise on points regarding cotton and
