The constitution of the seven samples of wheat received may be summed 

 up as follows : — 



SAMPLE 1 . — White wheat from Shakh, Rodghara. 



The bulk of this sample consisted of the strong, vigorous, red-chaffed 

 white-grained wheat, Kurram Valley Class II (var. erythroleucon Al.). 

 About one-eighth of the sample however belonged to Knrram Valley Class I 

 (var. ferrugineum Al.) which is similar in outward appearance but in which 

 the grain is pale red. 



SAMPLE 2. — Red wheat from Shakh, Rodghara. 



Seven-eighths of this sample consisted of a fully bearded, white- 

 chaffed, very pale red-grained wheat Kurram Valley Class IV 

 (var. enjthrosj^ermwn Kcke.) 



It also contained a similar wheat with white grain, Kurram Valley 

 Class VI (var. graecum Kcke.) and a small quantity of a wheat belonging to 

 var. ferrugineum Al., Kurram Valley Class I. 



SAMPLE 3. — Red wheat from Shiblan, Daman. 



About three-quarters of this sample consisted of the red-chaffed, white- 

 grained wheat belonging to Kuriam Valley Class II (var. enjihroleucon Al.). 

 The rest of the sample consisted of a white-chaffed, white-grained wheat, 

 Kurram Valley Class VI (var. graecnm, Kcke.). with small quantities 

 of two red-grained wheats, one red-chaf?ed, Kurram Valley Class I 

 (var. ferrugineum Al.) and the other white-chaffed, Kurram Valley Class V 

 (var. erythrospermum Kcke.). 



SAMPLE 4. — Red wheat from Shalozan, Daman. 



This sample consisted almost entirely of a wheat belonging to Kurram 

 Valley Class III (var. erythroleucon Kcke.). Small qnantities of wheats 

 belonging to Kurram Valley Class I (var. ferrugineum AL), Kurram Valley 

 Class V (var. erythros])ermum Kcke.) and Kurram Valley Class VI 

 (var. graecum Kcke.) also occurred. 



SAMPLE 5. — White wheat from Zeran, Daman. 



This sample was somewhat immature. The bulk (nine-tenths) con- 

 sisted of the red-chaffed, white-grained wheat, Kurram Valley Class II 

 (var. erythroleucon Kcke.) with small quantities of two red-grained wheats, 

 one red-chaffed {var. ferrugineum AL), Kurram Valley Class I, and the other
