INHERITANCE OF WAXY ENDOSPERM IN MATZE. 15) 
TABLE XXX V.—Possible degree of correlation between alewrone color and endo- 
sperm texture, the gametic reduplication being 3—1-1-8. 
[A correlation between colored aleurone and waxy endosperm is indicated by the minus sign in column 1; 
the other correlations are between colored aleurone and horny endosperm.]

the white waxy zygotes, respectively. 
CORRELATION IN THE THIRD GENERATION OF THE HYBRID DH 234. 
Two ears from each of the two first-generation hybrids were 
selected for planting. The four classes of seeds from each ear were 
planted in separate rows. Crosses were made between plants from 
the white waxy and colored horny seeds and between plants from 
the colored waxy and white horny seeds. Self-pollinated ears were 
also obtained from all the classes, but the ears resulting from self- 
pollinating the colored horny seeds are the only self-pollinated ears 
that exhibit four classes of seeds. 
The two ears grown from the hybrid Dh 284 are shown in Table 
XXXI as pedigree Nos. 1099 and 1111. Ear No. 1099 was the 
result of pollinating a plant of the hybrid Dh 234 with pollen from 
a plant of the same hybrid which when self-pollinated produced 
ear No. 1106. Both these ears curiously enough have exactly the 
same degree of association, or, rather, lack of association, — 0.019 
+0.07. 
The other ear, No. 1111, was the result of self-pollinating a plant 
of hybrid Dh 234 and had a correlation of —0.256-+0.063, heretofore 
referred to as one of the two ears that might be held to show a 
significant correlation.
