82 THE WHEATS OF BALUCHISTAN 



The following were the samples received : — 



Abi. — Jo shal. 

 Daima. 



{a) Siah. 



(6) Kuchani. 



(c) Mushi. 



The sample of Jo shal was exceedingly poor and thin and had evidently 

 been grown under very unfavourable conditions. The three daima samples 

 were better growTi but even they had suffered from want of water, the grains 

 not being properly filled. The fracture of all three was fair, that of Jo hichani 

 being the best, while as regards colour wushi was better than Ivchani. All 

 were mixed with wheat and weed seeds and the sample of .s-^'o A consisted partly 

 of black barley and partly of white. It is possible that with good cultivation 

 both kuchani and mushi might give fair malting samples.
