116 STUDIES IN GUJARAT COTTONS 
This weight is smaller than in any of our strains of Goghart. 
(2) The kapas gave a ginning percentage and lint-index as follows :— 
Year Ginning percentage | Lint-index 
Grm. 
1916-17 33°3 2°84 
1917-18 33:0 3°10 
1918-19 37°3 3°37 
1919-20 33°7 2°95 
This shows the most obvious difference between the Broach deshi type 
and the Goghari. 
(3) The seed was on the whole heavier than most types of Goghari. 
One hundred seeds weighed as follows :—

This is, however, not the characterstic of Broach deshi as a whole. 
(4) The lint is long, fine, and silky, and it gave the following average 
measurements in 1919-20. 
Centimetres 
Lint on tip of seed 40 6 2°16 
Lint on middle of seed ate 2°69 
Lint on base of seed .. AG 2°39 
The variation from the mean (a ) at the tip was 9°2 per cent. below, (6 ) 
at the middle was 9°6 per cent. above, and (c)at the base was 04 per cent. 
above. The lint was, therefore, not very different in its variation on different 
parts of the seed from that of Goghari. The lint on the middle of the 
seeds was varying as follows as determined from 100 measurements made on 
seeds :—
