9. KdJi (fhanom. This is grown on irrigat^nl land and is said to be rarely 

 attacked bv rust. Tt is a conunon wheat with s(|nare lu^ids and nnich rounded 

 glumes. The chaff is white and felted and the grain white. The bearding 

 was difficult to determine. There appeared to be every stage between 

 almost beardless ears to bearded (var. meridionah Kcke. Class XXVIII). 

 There were also present as impurities a similar wheat with red grain 

 (var. Iloftlianum Clem. Class XXI) and a bearded wheat with smooth, white 

 chaff' and red grain (var. eniOn-ospermum Kcke. Class XLI). 



1(1. Kamnr (white and red seed mixed). This is also grown on irrigated 

 land. Most of the sample consisted of a bearded wheat with sharply keeled 

 glumes, white, densely felted chaff and white grain (var. mericfionole Kcke. 

 Class XXVI). There was also present a fair quantity of a similar wheat but 

 very slightlv bearded and with very rounded glumes (var. 7neridionale Kcke. 

 Class XXVni). Other imjiurities were : a bearded wheat with short awns, 

 white, felted chatf and red grain {xiu. f>diginos)im Al. Class XVIII) : a beaided 

 wheat with smooth, white glumes and red graii; (var. eniihrospermum Kcke. 

 Class XLII) ; a similar wheat with white grain (var. graecnm Kcke. 

 Class XLV), and a slightly bearded wheat with rounded, white, densely felted 

 glumes and red grain (var. Hosiidnuni Clem. Cla s XXV). It will be seen 

 that though the sample was labelled white and red grain the number of led 

 grained ears was very small and did not form more than 5 per cent, of the 

 whole. Knmnr wheat is said to be rarely attacked by rust. 



11. Surmani. This wheat is growu mostly in Toba (»n both irrigated 

 and uniirigated laiul. It is said to be very liable t.i rust. Three-quarters 

 of the sample consisted of a bearded wheat with small eais. smooth, 

 white chafi, white grain and weak straw (var. fp-aecuth Kcke. Class XLV). 

 The rest of the sample consisted of a similai wheat with red grain
