  Table 
  II, 
  section 
  2, 
  B, 
  c, 
  gives 
  the 
  composition 
  of 
  these 
  ears 
  

   in 
  detail 
  and 
  shows 
  that 
  from 
  kernels 
  selected 
  as 
  typically 
  of 
  the 
  

   wrinkled 
  sweet 
  type 
  when 
  selfed 
  one 
  in 
  every 
  thirteen 
  of 
  the 
  oflf- 
  

   spring 
  appeared 
  as 
  intermediates, 
  or 
  as 
  less 
  wrinkled 
  than 
  is 
  

   characteristic. 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  higher 
  proportion 
  of 
  intermediates 
  than 
  

   was 
  obtained 
  from 
  the 
  so-called 
  hybrids 
  from 
  the 
  same 
  parent 
  

   ear 
  (130 
  a) 
  which 
  gave 
  one 
  intermediate 
  to 
  thirty-nine 
  starchy 
  

   and 
  sweet, 
  and 
  a 
  very 
  much 
  higher 
  proportion 
  than 
  came 
  from 
  

   the 
  corresponding 
  extracted 
  dominants 
  which 
  gave 
  only 
  one 
  

   intermediate 
  to 
  138 
  starchy. 
  The 
  five 
  full 
  starchy 
  kernels 
  in 
  ear 
  

   158 
  a 
  and 
  the 
  four 
  similar 
  kernels 
  in 
  ear 
  157 
  i, 
  were 
  possibly 
  from 
  

   stray 
  pollen 
  though 
  several 
  of 
  the 
  intermediate 
  kernels 
  on 
  ear 
  

   158 
  a 
  which 
  were 
  probably 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  selfing 
  were 
  very 
  closq 
  to 
  

   starchy 
  types 
  while 
  showing 
  undoubted 
  wrinkling.
