INHERITANCE OF WAXY ENDOSPERM IN MAIZE. 19 
chance; at least it does not appear to be hereditary. There were four 
classes of seeds on ears Nos. 1129 and 1180—colored and white waxy 
and colored and white horny. The four classes from each of these 
ears were planted separately and are separated in the tabulation, but 
since no differences appeared in the percentage of seeds with waxy 
endosperm from the colored and white seeds, they are discussed to- 
gether. To avoid repetition, the progeny of the two ears are consid- 
ered together, since the differences found between them were slight. 
The ears secured from the progeny of ears Nos. 1129 and 1130 are 
shown in Tables VI and VII. There were no ears with aberrant 
ratios larger than might be due to chance. 
TYasrE V1I1l.—Inheritance of endosperm texture in 26 ears of the horny X wary 
and 17 ears of the horny X self progeny of the two maize ears Nos. 1129 and 
1120, the progeny of hybrid Dh 237.
