Mr. Darwin has done, in showing that for the future the phenomena of plant movement can and indeed must be studied from a single point of view.

Last night I put on a row of little flies near one edge of two youngish leaves; and after 14 hours these edges are beautifully folded over so as to clasp the flies, thus bringing the glands into contact with the upper
