1887. Dent-like kernels from Waushakum. Those kernels that were cut were

indentation (Station) : 
Eleven dent ears, four to six inches long. One ear 10-rowed, five ears 12- 
rowed, three ears 14-rowed, two ears 16-rowed. Five flint ears, six to eight

Nine Dent and Soft ears four to nine inches long. Five ears 12-rowed, three

rowed. One ear Soft Pearl Pop four inches long, 16-rowed. One ear Rice Pop 
four inches long, 16-rowed. 
Of the eight ears reserved for a more thorough examination, two so-called
