Then race & individual going on to onerious system & back to movements again as examples—

[data not transcribed]

{Average of the white ones excluding No 4 is 55° average of black ones 49, so there is hardly any difference}

Dec 31 — 855 am

No 4 still horizontal The rest show nothing new

Jan 1 845 am. No difference between the whites & blacks— Owing to a mistake in my notes I am not sure whether all the beans where kept till Jan 1 or whether one jarful was thrown away on Dec 31. but I am nearly certain both were kept till Jan 1
