this power of rendering the rice grain diastatic, an effect which has 

 hitherto been attributed only to the germination of the embryo, the 

 question whether the effect is a general one or not, must be left to

In conclusion, the pleasant task remains to me of expressing my 

 obligations, and offering my thanks to Hiroyuki Kato, Esq., President 

 of the University of Tokio, who has rendered my task a comparatively 

 easy one, by the assistance he has given me in various ways. To- 

 Mr. Jihei Kameyama also, the proprietor of the hoji manufactory in 

 Yushima, Tokio, I am deeply indebted for the willingness with which 

 I have been allowed to make experiments, and to collect information 

 in his works. I wish also to thank my assistant, Mr. Nakazawa, for 

 the interest he has taken in the research, and for much assistance 

 which I have received from him.
