Sample No. 11, taken from the corn surrounding thermometer 11, had a temperature of 73° F. and tested c. c. in acidity, 65 per cent in germination, and 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., tested c. c. in acidity, 59 per cent in germination, and per cent in sound kernels. Hold 5 was two- thirds filled with corn, the top part of which became badly heat damaged during the voyage. The corn in this hold, as discharged, ranged from 69° to 147° F. in temperature, to 70 c. c. in acidity, 0 to 71 per cent in germination, 0 to 84 per cent in soimd kernels, and 43 to pounds in test weight per bushel. As will be seen by the temperature record for thermometer 22 in figure 12, the corn near the surface in- creased from 63° F. on March 24 to 100° F. on April 8 and to 147° F. on April 21. 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 c. c. in acidity and 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
