BULLETIN 754, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
Two of the four groups that make up the total deviated below the 
expected by an amount too large to be due to chance. 
In one of these 
groups the result of crossing white horny by colored waxy seeds from 
ear No. 1099, the deviati 
ion of 6.9 times the error is due in a large 
measure to two ears, both below the expected by an amount more 
than eight times the probable error. 
One other ear, No. 1653, devi- 
ated below the expected by more than seven times the probable 
error, having only 39.8 per cent white. A reexamination of these ears 
failed to reveal errors in
