Nov. 25-26

Cress reobserved

Nov. 25' noon 8 Plants marked bases of Cots. not touching — petioles a little apart: cots much deflexed; at 10° 20' P.m., the bases of opposite cots in close apposition & this cause the trifid Cots. to be a little raised, & sometime occasionally even to stand vertically, but not enough I think to afford protection.

Nov. 26' 11° 30' a.m. Petioles of plants of which a line joining the 2 Cots happened to stand at right angles to light now stand apart; when those of which the same line stood directed to light had the 2 petioles in apposition, owing to movement to light of the further one. This deceived me for a time.— no doubt petioles move together at night.— Cots. themselves rather more deflexed than during day.

Nov. 26. 10° 15' P.m. petioles all close together)

Nov. 27th 6° 45' a.m. petioles now apart though dark)

All radishes with cots close together

(Red Cabbage Nov. 29th no trace of bloom on Cotyledons.)

Red Cabbage. Nov. 27th 10° 20' P.m. Kept in study in N.E. window all day only 2/7 can be said to be asleep, though some of the plants which were not marked are so

Nov. 29' 10° P.m The seedlings bent over to light & I cannot tell but I think somewhat raised & in contact—

Nov. 30 10° P.m; petioles of almost all in contact, & the shorter Cots. much raised & some of them sub-vertical: during previous day petioles not in contact—
