(a) Stains
			 which are dark and materially affect the appearance of the individual
			 shell;
(b) Adhering husk when
			 covering more than five percent of the surface of the shell in the

(1) "Similar Type" means that the kernels are
			 of the same general type and appearance (i.e., kernels of the round type shall
			 not be mixed with those of the long type). Color of the kernels shall not be

			 does not exceed .02 of one percent by weight.
(5) "Damage" means any specific defect
			 described in this section, or an equally objectionable variation of any one of

(b) "Shriveling" means
			 the kernel is materially shrunken, wrinkled, and tough;
(c) "Deformity" means that the kernel is
			 deformed to the extent that the appearance is materially affected;
(d) "Internal flesh discoloration" means any
			 black discoloration within the kernel. The natural brown stain which occurs
