20 EXPERIMENTS IN THE HYBRIDISING OF INDIAN COTTONS. 
be taken as due to self-pollination, and to be not hybrids at, all.

The seeds of the plants from ““c” were very nearly naked, and 
of those from “ g,” I havea note that though not quite clean, they 
were very like those of Zellapatti. Leaving “c” out of account 
therefore 8 bolls gave between them 95 plants,—71 having 
perfectly naked seeds, 23 nearly naked, and 1 fuzzy seed. As‘ i” 
which was the same as Table II No. 3, in previous table, was 
the most interesting cross on the whole, and also the most prolific 
in seed, attention was mainly directed to its progeny. 
In the next generation, F. 2, many of the plants again had 
perfectly clean black seeds, but in others it was covered with a 
fuzz, as dense or even denser than that of the original Jari 
parent. Most of the plants could easily be classified as having 
naked or “fuzzy” seeds, but there were differences in the thick- 
ness of the covering, and in some the black seed-coat could be 
seen through it. 
A considerable number were nearly naked, having varying 
quantities of short fuzzy hairs -either as a tuft at one or both 
ends, or extending half over the surface of the seed. 
I divided them therefore into four groups. Those of No. 3 
(Boll 1) were as follows :—

There were fewer intermediates in the plants of the third 
generation, the distribution being as in Table XIT.
