This paper is a discussion on the determination of the grade of wool top using sequential sampling, thereby minimizing the sample sizes. Industrial firms con ducting fineness testing and wool-grade variability determination will be interested in this presentation and approach, which is suggestive of considerable time-saving analysis.— Editor
