Oct 18th 1879 8º a.m.— Beans— Radicles "Sachs' curvature "— radicles only when 1/10' of inch protruded — Beans germinated in peat fixed so that short radicles hang down vertically by eye. — over water in jar in dark on chimney piece Temp abt 70º F. — Being a rudimentary [function] agrees with variably aspect of presence & occasional absence.—

(1) 19' 4º 30' P.m quite straight (20th 8º a.m do) 4º 30' P.m. tip a little over Hilum

(2) 19. 4.30 some Sachs C. (20' 8º a.m. curvature strong— tip beyond pin-head 1/2 way to outer margin of Bean.) 4º. 30' P.m — tip beyond outer margin of Bean (21' 8º a.m bent horizontal Sacks

(3) 19' 4.30 quite straight tip over centre of Bean (20th 8º tip curved from Sachs) 4º 30 straight tip over nearly middle of Hilum.) (21 8º over Head of Pin)

(4) 19' 4. 30 straight (4º 30 tip 1/2 way between pin-Head & end of Hilum (21' over 8 a.m over Head of Pin)

(5) 19' 8º am some of Sachs (4º 30 P.m tip about over head of Pin) (20' 8º a.m. tip beyond outer margin of Bean.) 4º 30' as much beyond outer margin, as from pin-head to base of radicle

(6) 19' 4º 30' almost straight slightly inclined over bean (20' 8º tip over about 1/3 of Hilum) 4º 30 tip itself rather curved over 1/2 way between Pin Head & end of Hilum

(7) 19 4º 30 straight & short (20' 8º a.m straight) (4º 30 a little over Hilum) (21 8º a.m 1/2 way between Pin-Head & end of Hilum

(8) 19' 8º monstrous externally bent at rt. ∠s — 4. 30 Hooked up, opposed to gravity. (20th 8º a.m a rectangle. 23d thrown away

(Oct 25' 8 a.m. I can see no signs of reversal of Sachs' curvature— nor can Frank, so must give up this notion.)
