By many it may be argued that the averages of 

 all the stages is not just, as sugar is to be manu- 

 factured when the most desirable period arrives ; but 

 in answer to this we would say that that period is of 

 very short duration ; and as no allowance has been 

 made for it, it is but just to permit the first periods of 

 sugar formation to enter as a factor into our calcula- 

 tions. We have, in all cases, neglected the fractions, 

 for the reason they would not materially change the 

 results. As may be noticed, these varieties were prin- 

 cipally grown at the South, which evidently had a 

 tendency to lead to better results than if at the North. 



The average of these thirty-eight varieties and four 

 hundred and seventeen experiments is 4.8 per cent, 

 this is considerably higher than it would have been if we 



* We were unable to deduct the above from the graphical plates for the reason 

 that it is not given, but we have taken the average of sixty-five experiments,
