352 REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE ON GENETICS. 
C032 was a durwm wheat, with rosy ear, glaucous, slightly bearded, 
with red grain. In 1889 it produced 0°21, C*22, C°23. 
0321, taken on the average, resembled the type, and was destroyed 
in 1890. 
0°22, very like the one before, but with fragile axis. Destroyed in 
1890. 
0°23 was a fully bearded durwm wheat. Destroyed in 1890. 
C34 was a durum wheat, with large square ear, slightly bearded, 
easily husked, with reddish grain ; produced, in 1888, C*41 and 0°42. 
C°41 resembled the type, slightly more bearded; in 1889 it 
produced : 
0°411, resembling C*41, and was destroyed in 1890. 
C°412 very like the one before, but more compact. Destroyed 
in 1890. 
C°413 was a durwmn wheat, with slender bearded ear, clear 
brown, with red grain. Destroyed in 1890. 
0°42 was a beardless dwrwm wheat, with a short and very com- 
pact ear. Destroyed in 1890. 
Ct Faminy. 
C! was, in 1887, a hairy, grey, beardless turgidwm. In 1888, it varied _ 
and produced @*1 and C2. 
C‘1 was a bearded turgidum, which was killed by frost in 1891. 
C12 followed type ©‘; it remained fixed until 1898, and then 
produced : 
C21 has remained true to type (nine plants in ten), and 
still exists in 1906. 
0122, represented by one plant, was a bearded turgidum, 
but otherwise very like ©'2, becoming identical in 
1899, and was destroyed on that account. 
The most remarkable fact in this pedigree is that the wheat C%1, 
which appeared quite fixed, suddenly began to vary in 1896, but then 
only produced durwm wheats of different kinds. In 1904, one of the forms 
split up into three, which were— 
1. A wheat entirely a durum. 
2. A wheat entirely a soft. 
3. A wheat of no particular type, with a spelt-formed ear, and grain 
like a turgidum. 
3. ‘BLE SEIGLE’ x ‘BLE BUISSON.’ 
(Tr. satiwum x Tr. turgidum.) 
In 1880, my father pointed out the curious fact that the produce of a 
soft wheat and a turgidwm gave plants which all approached the spelts. 
Amongst the numerous forms that appeared in 1880 (the second 
generation), only a single one was preserved: this was a spelt with a 
branched ear. pee : 
This rare anomaly well reproduced itself, ‘and I am still cultivating it. 
We shall notice, by the way, that a spelt with branched ear was also 
produced by the crossing of a durum and a soft wheat. (“Bulk ‘Soc.
