in favor of the yellow seed. The author states that although there is a series of similar 

 results, the experiments do not show an absolute advantage in favor of either color 

 when, as in this case, the grains were all taken from the same form of head. It was 

 found that the protein content of the grain was apparently transmitted in exceptional 

 cases only to a very small extent. The data collected in making these experiments 

 are reported in tables.

 H. W. Wiley ( U. S. Dept. Agr., Bureau of Chemistry Bid. 64, jjp. .^~').— This bulletin 

 is devoted mainly to the study of climatic influences on the composition of the sugar 

 beet. The meteorological, analytical, and geodetic data oVjtained in experiments 

 conducted by the Bureau of Chemistry in collaboration witii the Weather Bureau, 

 and a number of experiment stations located in regions of different climatic condi- 

 tions, are reported. The average results are summarized in the following table:
