Some years ago in connection with a maize improvement program in Texas, several thousand self-pollinations were made in Surcropper, a variety of field corn widely grown in the Southwest. Among the self-pollinated ears were a number which segregated for a type of sugary endosperm which appeared to be, and later proved to be, different from the ordinary sugary endosperm familiar to all maize geneticists. The inheritance of this new type of endosperm, named amylaceous sugary, was briefly recorded in the “Maize News Letter” which served the purpose of bringing the character to the attention of other students of maize genetics. Now, however, that CAMERON (1947) has made a comprehensive study, which is reported separately in this journal, of the chemistry of carbohydrate development in types of endosperm derived from amylaceous sugary and its cross with sugary it is desirable to publish the accumulated data whicli bear upon the inheritance of amylaceous sugary and its derivatives.
