Abstract
ON the Government Farm at Dharwar, Bombay Presidency, India, I have for several years had under observation pure lines of cottons of several species and varieties. One of these was Wagale, a Burmese variety of Gossypium neglectum Tod. From 1919 this variety has been self-fertilised, and only the self-fertilised, seed used for sowing in each generation, of which there has been one per annum. Like all the Indian cottons, this variety has normally had simple and stellate hairs on stem, petiole, and leaf. The variety bred true for this character of hairiness until 1925, in which season there appeared one plant which was entirely glabrous.
