(4) The lint gave the following average measurements on different parts 
of the seed in 1920 :-— 
Centimetres 
Lint on tip of seed AF Be LS 
Lint on middle of seed = ae OG 
Lint on base of seed 5c ae A leey- 
The variation from the mean (@ ) at the tip was 8°8 per cent. below, (5) 
in the middle 8:2 per cent. above, and (c¢ ) at the base 0°5 per cent. above. 
The lint on the middle of the seed varied as follows :—

The staple in this case is, therefore, shorter than in either A26 or B3 
and is also very uneven even more so than B3. The variation is illustrated 
by Fig 4. 
The lint, on examination by Messrs. Tata & Sons, Bombay gave the
