(Conclusion)

A

Feb 20th 18 Radicles of Yorkshire Hero Peas  with little sqr of sand-paper shell-lacced at 4 mm to one side of apex— fixed laterally so as to avoid Sachs' curvature — germinated in Peat Peat, not but badly— very many grow monstrous,— Excluding

Pinned over water on Study Table in dark.

Excluding 3 which grew monstrous 11. were thus tried & of them 4 were not acted on & 7 became bowed to side on which card was fixed— slightly in course of 5°. 45' & m more plainly after 14 hr— 2 of the radicles were bent, so that terminal portion was 41° from the perpendicular downwards & one as much as 62°. It was highly remarkable that no transmitted effect, curvature could be seen, curvature being confined to spot where bit of card affixed—

Very valuable the contrast with effects of same kind & size of card similarly fixed to one side of apex.

It is strange that bits of card were fixed either at same time Feb. 20th or subsequently to tips of 7 radicles & not one in the least affected — fixed on tip & side of on 2 no effect.—

As I have said germinated badly—

Feb. 20th 1880 8° 15' a.m Radicles Peas — with little square of card — shell-lacced on one side at 4 mm above apex— suspended over water— 2 on tips — germinated in Peat on study Table (Jar. A)

A
(1). 2° a little curved 10° P.m decided curve to card— apex now about 7— 8 mm above card

(2) (21st 8° a. m 7° 45' a.m fixed card on tip)

(3) 2° (? perhaps. trace) 10° P.m very slight curvature (21' it is certain (21' 7° a.m fixed card on tip— 22d 8° no effect— yet grown very well)

(4) 2° decidedly curved to end 10° distinct (21' do) (21' 7° 45 fixed card on tip —22d do like no 6)

(5)

(6) 2° decidedly curved 10° plain curvature but not grow well (21' 8° a.m angle of 62° from perpendicular

(7) card on tip (2° 0) /10° 0/  ✔

(8) card on tip 2° 0/ 10° 0/ 22d 8° a.m no effect ✔

[in margin:] In all the cases the bending from the card abrupt & no effect transmitted to a distance)

(1)

(2) tips & side (2° 0) 10° quit straight & has gone very well ✔

(3) 2° decidedly curved 10° P.m very strong kinck to card (41° from the perpendicular)

(4) (2° a little curved) 10° P.m strongly & plainly curved (41° from the perpendicular)
(21 8° .a.m card to tip 22nd 8 am no effect)

(5) 10° P.m slightly curved— certainly curved though slightly
(21' 8° a.m card to tip. ) 22d 8° a : no effect)

(6) (21st. 8° a.m card to tip) 22d 8° a.m no effect)

(7) 10° has grown serpentine, but not to card — not healthy (Monstrous ✔

(8) tip. 2° curved from card 10° I doubt for pea pinned obliquely (22d no effect) ✔

(9) 10° P.m— not grown diseased utterly monstrous ✔

(10) — 21st 8° a.m grown quite abnormally ✔
