growing vertically down over water in dark  Beans Radicles with single instantaneous touch with Caustic 4 mm from apex.—

Radicle quite dry, germin in Caustic— sawdust

Brushed with camel.— Caustic dry Temp. 58º to

(1) 4º 30 I believe I did not touch now touched. 4º 30' (30th 7º 30' a.m. deflected 16º from vertical towards black mar. (viz. length 1 1/2 Breadth about 1 m injury superficial, I cannot describe how deep. probably) 4º 30' P.m. has become quite straight.

(2) 30th 7º 30 very little curved to mark

(3) (like 2)— (length of mark a little above 1 m. breadth not 1/2 m.m)

(4) like (2) but even less May 1 8º tip mark a very slight curvature fr

(5) 30' 7º 30' mark hardy visible I think no effect— May 1' there was a very slight effect from 4 mm mark May 1' I think there was a trace of an effect.

Jar E & A

April 29th 1879 8º 30' a.m.    Beans radicles; just pressed with caustic

for a second 4 mm from apex, & on apex on same side for same time.

Beans grown in sawdust & dry-rushed with dry brush— Caustic dry, suspended vertically in dark over water.— Temp 58º to

Caustic to tip

(6) in Jar A 4º 30' tip curved from black tip a little, but the 4 mm mark very small, smaller than tip on (30th 7º 40' am lower mark has produced trace of effect. — tip not so. (May 1' 8º certainly a little curvature from tip-mark

(7) in Jar A 4º 30 straight. (30th 7º 40 am lower mark caused deflection of 22º, upper mark doubtful whether any effect— size of mark 4º 30' I think upper mark has caused slight curve from it

May 1' 8º a m

(1) Jar E (30th 7' 45' am, a trace of curvature from tip — lower mark slight indentation, but no curvature) May 1st 8º am certainly slight curvature from tip, none now at lower mark,

(2) (30th 7º 45' a.m. decided curvature to lower mark, upper no effect May 1' 8º a.m certainly slight curvature from tip, abut 28º from vertical, lower mark no trace left

(3) short radicle (30 7º 45 a m, no clear effect from either mark) May 1' 8º do O Tip

(4) (30th 7º 45' a.m slight curvature from tip. (May 1' 8º tip curvature disappeared.

(5) (30th 7º 50 am strong curvature towards lower mark, tip no effect (May 1' 8º lower curvature disappeared— no curvature at tip) O

(6) short R. 4º 35' curved from tip, but 4 mm mark very small (30th 7º 50' a trace of curvature from tip, lower mark very small no effect) May 1' 8º no curvature at tip

(7) short R. (30' 7º 50' slightly curved from tip, lower mark barely visible May 1' 8º  still slight curvature from tip

(8) short radicle (30th 7º 50' am lower mark very small, no effect from either) May 1' 8º do) O

(9) short radicle (30' 7º 50' a.m., lower mark very small, no effect from either. May 1st gr has never grown, diseased.)

(30th 4º 30 P.m It certainly seems that not touching on apex & at 4mm counteract & cause very slight curvature, sometime a trace more on one side & sometime on other side.)
