and imported seed goes to support such a relationship. From Table 111 



it will be seen that by comparing either the imported or the home grown 

 varieties with one another, very little regularity can be observed. It 

 is evident that in this case the variations in oil content due to difference 

 of variety mask any difference due to varying size of seed. Very 

 different, however, is the case when we compare each imported variety 

 with the seed produced //'owt the same sample grown in England. Here 

 a regularity is noticeable : in practically all cases an increase in oil 

 content is accompanied by an increase in size of seed. Strict propor- 

 tionality between the two could not of course be expected from the 

 very nature of the case, but that there is a parallelism between them, 

 other things being equal, seems to be sufficiently brought out by the 

 figures given in the table below.
