252 ON THE INHKRITANCE OF THE Fr,0\VKR[MG riME IN PEAS AND RICE 
In conscciuenco of very uiuvjn sprouting, irregularity in the flowering time 
followed. So we discarded all individuals which sprouted after the 24th of 
May, and selected those which had sprouted within the 10 days from the 14th 
to the 23rd of May. We calculated the rei)resentative value of their Oower- 
ing times, by using the formula proposed already (page 239). The results 
thus obtained are shown in Table 14 — 18. 
Table 14. 
G fiiid H- The parent families of the two raisings varied between the 
ranges of the early constant and early intermediate constant. Now we see 
in this table the same variation types as in Table 12 Bj suggesting the 
former to be the variation type of the segregation in the offsprings of a mono- 
hybrid parent which was heterozygous in the determiners of the early flower- 
ing time and early intermediate flowering time. 
I. The parent family of this raising had a similar variation type to the 
parent families of the above 2 raisings G and H; and the general types of 
variation in I are also similar to those shown in the case of G and H- In the 
present case, however, there is only one later constant family whose variation 
means is larger than the average means of the later constant families in G 
and H, suggesting it rather to be a late intermediate constant. Thus we may 
assume that the F., grand-parent of I raising was a monohybrid which is 
heterozygous in determiners of the early flowering time and the late inter- 
mediate flowering time. It is quite remarkable that in the variable families 
of I raising, the white-flowered individuals are distinctly numerous toward 
the early part of the range, while in those of H raising (family Nos. 6, 7, 8, 
9, 12, 13, I4and 17) the distribution of white-flowered individuals is uniform.

J. The parent family of this raising was one of the early intermediate 
constants, but its variation type was rather different from the other related 
constants. Its maximum frequency was in the class 50. In class 5 i there
