Apogeotrop

10º 40' exposed to light, till 11º 4' circumnutated for 24': by 11º 20' & 12 4' had moved to light & right — by 12.37' [-] 11 4 [=] 1. 38 a long way to light; so had been exposed to light. (N.E window moderately bright) for nearly 2º, & had travelled to light for about 1º 30'. At 12º 39' completely darkened at 12º 54 1/2 had travelled more to light— so nachwirkung certainly 15 1/2! & certainly move & then continued traveling to light to 1º. 6' (ie for 27'). By (At 1º .6' [+] 5 1/2 [=] 11 1/2 it might have already begun to travel back!) For by At 1º .18' [+] 5 1/2 [=] 23 1/ had gone some way back; so perhaps we may add something perhaps 6' to to the 27' & this wd make nachwirkung 33' ; but will be safer to say certainly more than 15' 30" probably about at least 27' either little more or less. Afterwards it continued through apogeotropism to travel back in the dark & by 2. 15 2º 15 had arrived as far back as point where it had first shown some tendency to travel to light.—

Same seedlings

At .2º 18' exposed again to light & first dot made 2º 20' (see Tracing) Afternoon dark cloudy continued moving from light certainly for 19', perhaps & more probably almost for for 30': this is nachwirkung of apogeotropism— But by 3º (ie after 12' had moved to light. Continued moving to light till 3º 45' when light was shut off
