192 THE INHERITANCE OF CHARACTERS IN RICE, II 
At that time, however, the behaviour was not understood and the groups 
Were not properly separated ; thus no numbers can be given for Fy. The 
results given by plants carried forward in F;and Fy are summarized in 
Table IV where it will be seen that the various types are behaving according 
to expectation.

Two crosses, appearing as granular dark furrows in a pure ripening gold 
lot; gave similar results to the above with the added complication of segrega- 
tion forthe factor 2. The F.2’s were not properly separated into groups for 
counting but the same groups appeared as in Nos. 2581 and 748 N above, 
together with the corresponding dark furrows types, viz., granular dark 
furrows, dark furrows, granular ripening furrows and ripening furrows. 
One family only, No. 1236 N, was followed up. The gold types, where J 
was absent, gave results similar to those of Table IV. The lots showing seg- 
regation for 7 are summarized in Table V. There was some difficulty in sepa- 
rating tipped and patchy golds in some of these lots, also in separating the 
lowest grades of patchy gold from some of the ripening straws showing the 
maximum amount of gold in slight patches.
