INHERITANCE OF WAXY ENDOSPERM IN MAIZE. 85 
It is obvious that no coupling could occur in the gametes, but Col- 
lins (4) reported significant correlations on two ears representing a 
similar cross that as yet can not be explained. It would be possible, 
however, to obtain a correlation by crossing a plant grown from a 
white horny seed with a plant grown from a colored waxy seed where 
two factors are required to produce color, and the correlation is be- 
tween one of these color factors and endosperm texture.

color of 22 ears of maize, the progeny of ear No. 1129 of the third generation 
of the hybrid Dh 237.
