A few abnormalities have appeared in the maize varietiesunder observation during the progress of these have been studied with two objects in view. The firstobject was to see whether the manner of transmission of herit-able monstrous characters gives any clue to the reason whymonstrosities have seldom obtained a foothold in nature whenin competition with normal types.
