ANALYSES OF RICE GRAIN, 
CARRIED OUT IN CONJUNCTION WITH a. MACHIDA 
BY 
Dr. 0, Kellner and M. Nagaoka, 
The specimens of rice for these analyses were kindly furnished 
to our laboratory by the managers of the second rice exhibition 
held in the spring of 1891 in Fukagawa, Tokyo. As only large 
quantities (12 koku = 22 hectolitres) were admitted there, we may 
be sure that our analyses have reference only to grain as it was 
really harvested, and not to specimens specially picked out for 
competition. We analyzed altogether 9 samples which ranged 
according to their quality as follows :
