 recorded as being the same as those of both parents have 

 been found so because of too rapid or too slow gelatiniza-

 in classification. It is of especial interest to note thai

as is manifest by the fact that if one starch be substit 



for another or reagent substituted for another the 



reactions may be like or unlike. Thus the three 



Crinums, it will be seen that the iodine reactions of the 

 seed parents are in all three the same or practically the 

 same as those of the corresponding pollen parents. In 

 the temperature reactions one (C. hybridum j. c. h.)

 closer to the pollen parent; another (C. Hrca/n ) has an 

 intermediate reactivity and ; I > the seed parent; 



and another (C. powellii) has a higher reactivity than 

 that of either parent and closer to the pollen parent 

 In the chloral-hydrate reactions one hybrid is inter- 

 mediate ami closer to the pull- other the same 

 as the seed parent ; and anotl '. and as close 

 to one as to the other parent. In the pyrogallic acid 

 ne hybrid is the lowest and the pollen 

 parent; another intermediate and closer to V 

 parent: another highest and closer to the pollen pai 

 etc. In other word I f the reaction is d •
