 You have mis-transcribed the data:

Series    Genotype    Weight
1            pb                0.986
3            bb                0.829

anova(aov(weight ~ series + genotype, data=dat))

gives the correct results when compared to S&R.

Cheers,

Simon.

The combination of some data and an aching desire for 
an answer does not ensure that a reasonable answer 
can be extracted from a given body of data.
