The four groups in Table VII are the reciprocals of the four 
f . . : 
i groups in Table VI. The first group in Table Vlis WX X CH from 
, ear No. 1129 and the first group in Table VII is WH X CX from the 
same ear. 
Since one parent was homozygous for waxy endosperm, it be- 
comes possible to test whether the same ratio of waxy to horny 
genes is found in the male gametes as in the female gametes of the 
heterozygous parent.
