Jar M. Horse-chesnuts. (New narrow jar) dry radicles

Dec. 19th 1878.— Lunar-caustic (one touch.) dry caustic.

(1) 9º a.m) 20th 8º 40' slight curvature) 21' 9º slight, but decided) 22d 8º 30' touched again 23' 8º a.m whole tip blackened, not curved (24th 9º. 30' do) (25th 8º am do) 

(2) 9º am) (20' 8º 40' very slight curvature (21' 9º straight— touched again) 22d 8º 30' touched again 23d 8º whole tip blackened not curved (24th 9º 30' yet whole root greatly declined from black side &— extended almost horizontally doubtful effect, but I think must be effect 

(3) 9º a.m (20th. 8º 40' slight yet clear curvature (21st 9º do) (23d. 8º do.) 24th 9º 30' do tip 25' 8º 15' plainly curved from black mark., 50º from the perpendicular 

(4) 9º. am (20th 8º 40' conspicuous curvature) (21' 9º do) (22d 8º 30' nearly straight 23d 8º decided deflection from black mark, but whole radicle bent to one side 24' 9º 30' I think whole root curved from black mark— 25' 8º 62º from the perpendicular

(5) 9º.a.m. 20th 8º 40' slight curvature (21st 9º marked curvature —35º from the perpendicular (23d 8º distinct curvature from black mark..) 24th 9º 30' no doubt 50º from perpendicular (25th 8º 15 63º  from the perpendicular          

N.B. 25' 8º. 15. It is very striking when one looks from vertically above on the 5 se radicles— which are all extended sub-horizontally not one vertically down look irregularly acted on, the little black mark is in every case directly above on upper side In some cases in this & other jars a slight furrow is left above the black mark— showing injury

Certainly 4/5 of them acted on & 1 doubtfully
