360 REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE ON GENETICS. 
1621224 was a red, bearded, soft wheat, with large 
turgidum grain; in short, the same as the type, 
only bearded (fig. 98). 
16218, in 1908, was an awned, soft wheat, white and glabrous, with 
very long ear and white grain (fig. 99). In 1904, it produced 
four forms : 
162131, which was like the type, but which continued to vary 
in 1905 and produced again four forms : 
1621811, which remained true to type (five plants in ten). 
1621812. A soft wheat, with very long beardless white 
ear, hairy, often twisting and yellow grain (two plants 
in ten) (fig. 99). 
1621313, the same as the type, but with red ear and 
yellow grain (two plants in ten) (fig. 99). 
1621314 was a soft, bearded wheat, with blackish-brown 
ear and yellow grain (one plant in ten) (fig. 99). 
162182 was like 162131, but with hairy ear (fig. 100). It 
produced, in 1905, three forms : = 
1611321 was like the type, though with a tendency to 
have a narrow spelt-formed ear (seven plants out of 
nine). 
1621322 had a small spelt-shaped ear, white, difficult 
to husk, with yellow grain (one plant in nine) (fig. 100). 
There was also a plant with a long glabrous white ear, 
like 1621311, which was not preserved. 
162133 was a white, bearded, soft wheat, glabrous, with a 
very loose ear and white grain (fig. 100). It reproduced 
itself well in 1905, without any variation. 
162134 was a white, bearded, soft wheat, glabrous, with 
a compact ear (fig. 100). It reproduced itself in 1905, all 
but one plant, which was hairy. This was not kept. 
This group, as one can prove, is interesting from the number of 
variations which have arisen in these last few years. 
Wheat No. 162, of 1881 (twrgidum), gave no real variation before 1903, 
since No. 1622, of 1898, is still a twrgidum. 
In 1903, it produced a dwrwm and a soft wheat; this last one not 
having so far produced anything but soft wheats, or about midway 
between a soft wheat and a spelt. 
The durum wheat of 1903 (16212), which was not otherwise clearly 
defined by its characters (fig. 97), produced both soft and durum 
wheats, also a spelt (?); all wheats whose peculiarities were not clearly 
defined, and whose descent it will doubtless be interesting to follow. 
The illustrations given above will help my descriptions.
