ture record for thermometer 11. Sample No. 11, taken from the corn 
surrounding thermometer 11, had a temperature of 73° F. and tested 
31.7 c. c. In acidity, 65 per cent in germination, and 91.8 per cent in 
sound kernels. The temperature of the corn in the bottom of the hold 
varied somewhat with the sea-water temperature, as illustrated by the 
record for thermometer 19. Sample No. 19, taken from the corn at 
the bottom of the hold, had a temperature when discharged of 69° F.,

corn, the top part of 
which became badly 
heat damaged during

As indicated in Table 33, sample No. 22, which represents the corn 
surrounding thermometer No. 22, contained no sound kernels or any 
kernels that would germinate, and tested 47.4 ¢. c. in acidity and 47.5 
pounds in weight per bushel. The corn located halfway down in the 
hold and at the bottom changed very little in temperature except near 
the outside walls and along the top of the shaft tunnel. Sample No. 24, 
taken from near the shifting boards halfway down in the corn, increased
