kernels. The range was from 3.2 per cent, to 92.0 per 

 cent. The number of seed was not large, therefore the 

 number of plants obtained was not as large as desired, 

 yet from the consistency of the results certain conclu- 

 sions are justified. The offspring from these twenty 

 plants were sorted into the three classes, hulled, inter- 

 mediate and hull-less. The intermediate plants were 

 again threshed and the percentage of hulled kernels de- 

 termined. 



In Table III is given the percentage of hulled condition 

 in the parent plant, the segregation into the three groups, 

 the percentage of hulled kernels in the heterozygous off- 

 spring, the grouping into hulled and hull-less and (where 

 both hull-less and intermediate plants are grouped to- 

 gether) the percentage of hulled plants with the prob- 

 able error.
