1. The nutritive values of nine varieties of groundnut were determined by the nitrogen balance method in diets containing 10% protein. The results indicated that the varietal differences did not affect the biological values significantly.

2. Three varieties showing small but significant differences of approximately 5% in methionine content were further assayed for protein efficiency ration at the 10% level of protein for a period of 4 weeks. No significant differences in per were obtained, but the least significant difference that could have been detected under these conditions was approximately 8%.
