1. It has been shown that within rather wide limits there is a positive relationship between pollen fertility as indicated by the iodine test and the degree of anther coloration in the sugar cane. 2. That pollen samples taken from dried flowers nine months after the fresh samples have been taken are similar in their iodine reaction has also been demonstrated.
