From which it may be noted that Rio and Mocha lose on an 

 average one per cent, less than Java and Maracaibo in both 

 seasons, which is accounted for by the greater hardness and 

 solidity of the bean of the former over the latter, which are lighter 

 and softer in texture, the average loss being 15 per cent, on all 

 coffees.
