Samples of paddy were obtained from Formosa, Ceylon, India, Java, 

 British Guiana and at the end of last year six varieties were received 

 from Louisiana. Unfortunately owing to unfavourable weather conditions 

 and to the lack of control of the iri-igatioa water several varieties were 

 lost either in the nursery stage or after they had been planted out in the 

 field. The results of those that survived are given below : —
