Bassoon— Oxalis sensitiva

Two seedlings plants a big one P & a smaller on p in hot case under a small bell glass—

Played low Bb & also ran up & down the scale & both P & p shut up slightly

Dec 3. 9 12 am Opened the case & removed the bell P has one cotyledon below Horizon, one horizontal.

p has both cotyledons below— On returning at 9.26 no change is visible to the eye

10.5 am The cotyledons of P form a straight line [sketch] which makes 5º below Horizon

p has Rt Left cotyledon 20 30 below Rt 20 below

10.8 Began to play high D# [illeg] & went on with pauses for breath for 1 3/4'

10. 6 P has closed a little; 1018 the Rt Left cotyl has risen 25º ie to 30 above the horizon, the left cotyl has sunk risen 5º ie is horizontal But it is impossible to read the angle very accurately & it is possible the left cotyl has remained unaltered especially as the hypocotyl nutating may altered the angle made by the cotyledons — with horizon

10.21. (p) has both cots 10 below; that is Left risen 20º, right 10º

10. 31 (P). the Left 40º above, Rt horizontal, that is left risen 35º in all, Rt risen 5º in all,

10.31 (p) both cots 5º below; therefore Left has in all has risen 25º, Rt 15º.

10.56. (P-) Left 30º above Rt horizontal; that is the cots have begun to separate again

10.56 — (p) Left 20 above, rt 15 above Bell left off & left open

12.13. (P) is paratonically horizontal, left cot being a few degrees below the horizontal,

(p) Ditto but Rt a few above horizontal Bell left off & left open

12.17 to 12 18 low Bb [sketch]; (& for abt 1/4' more at after a few seconds pause)

12.27 (P) Left 5 above, Rt 5 Below That is P had not shut up from bassoon

(p). Left. 10 above Rt horizon That is left had risen 10º or a few less—

12.51. P— cotyls in a straight line 20º below horizon [sketch]

(p). Both 8º above,

Bassoon

12.52 pm played height D for 1 1/2 minutes

1.º 6' pm —(P) Cots still in a straight line 35º below horizon— [sketch] — I suppose owing to nutation of hypocotyl — No effect from bassoon

(p) — Left horizontal— Rt 8 12º above No effect from bassoon

1.36 Bell glass put on

2.50 Bell glass off.

(P)— Cots in a straight line [sketch] 20 below horizon

(p)— Left. 10º below Rt horizontal

2º. 51' played high D# for 1'

2º 53' (P—) Left —40 above, Rt horizontal, that is they have both risen 20º

2. 56' (p) Left —horizontal Rt 10 above that is both have risen 10º

3. 8 P. Left 40º above

3º 2'. (p) Left 5 above. Rt 20 above; that is in all left has risen 15º, Rt 20º

3. 8 (P). left 30 above Rt 15º above; or on all left risen 10º, Rt 35º

3º 50' P— lea Left 8 above Rt 3 above p— left horizon, Rt 5º above} That is neither are asleep
