  Ten

  obtained 
  from 
  

   the

  The 
  classes 
  of 
  kernels 
  are 
  given 
  In 
  Table

   section

  There 
  are 
  a 
  few 
  scattering 
  kernels 
  in 
  this 
  lot 
  which 
  

   are 
  plump 
  and 
  opaque 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  classed 
  as 
  starchy. 
  The 
  

   intermediates 
  are 
  for 
  the 
  most 
  part 
  quite 
  typical. 
  In 
  the 
  whole 
  

   series 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  preponderance 
  of 
  sweet 
  kernels 
  but 
  many 
  kernels 
  

   classed 
  as 
  sweets 
  verge 
  strongly 
  toward 
  intermediates. 
  The 
  

   ratios 
  are
