3. Sea Island. 



4. Nankin. 



5. Bailey. 



6. Okra Leaf. 



These strands were taken at randum from the bolls, but 

 rather indicate the average condition of the fiber in each in- 

 stance. In the case of the Sea Island and Okra leaf, and 

 the Bailey the character of the twist is excellent. The Afifi 

 and Bamieh are not so well twisted, but the degree of 

 strength to resist rupture compares very favorably with the 

 others. With the exception of Nankin these are long staple 

 cottons.
