Khordsdn Class VII. Ears long. thin. lax. fully bearded, awns light 

 red ; chafE smooth, very light red, shining ; grain large, white. 



The wheat Snrlli Das belongs to this class. This variety also formed 

 about one-tenth of the sample Kalhori and occurred as a small impurity in 

 Kar-i-Safid. 



Khordsdn Class VIII. Ears lax, not very long, with short beaids along 

 the whole length, awns light red : glumes rounded, smooth, light red with 

 some bloom ; grain somewhat large with a distinct hump, white, almost 

 translucent. 



The sample Kallori belongs to this class toid a similar wheat was also 

 found in small quantity in SurM Das. This wheat resembles in glume-shape 

 and bearding the wheats f(nind on the Simla Hills and while belonging to 

 T. vidgare Vill. forms a link between this and Triticum cumpaclntn Host.

Khordsdn Class IX. Ears fairly long. lax. fally bearded, awns white : 

 chaff smooth, shining white ; grani light led, faiily large with a distinct huuip.

 Khordsdn Class X. Ears long. thin. lax. fully bearded, awns white : 

 chaflt smooth, white ; grain somewhat large and white. 



To this class belongs the Safed Khosha but the sample appears to ccntain 

 two sub-varieties, one with rounded glumes and plumj). soft, white grain and 

 the other with longer, flattened glumes and translucent, t in. amber grain. 



About one-eighth of the sample of Kar-i-Safid also consisted of a wheat 

 belonging to this class, probably to the sub-variety with plump grai)\. and a 

 very small quantity was also found in Shniur Davdan. 



The constitution of the six samples received may therefore be summed 

 up as follows : — 



I. Daima — Rain-fed wheats.
