Abstract:
In this letter to Blumenschein, Bill Brown cautioned the Latin American scholar not to draw conclusions regarding the origin and migration of certain races of maize until a full collection of Brazilian varieties could be made. From his cautionary language it is evident that the subject was a matter of some contention among maize geneticists in the 1960s.
