11th November Down

12º 50' Turpentine almost dead at 9º P.m.

12th 9º Am killed

11th

1º 10 bit of paper on 2 or 3 Hairs / at 9º became vertical

12th 9º 30 rolled into centre ie 20º

2º 30' Thread Cotton thread on young leaf, on straight Hairs by footstalk. — (2 bits on large leaf 12th both moved but not to centre)

4º ie 1º 30' considerably inflected 9º carried to centre ie in 4º 30'

(Put another bit of thread in on rt side of footstalk at 4º 12th 9º 30' 5º 25' in centre

No other Hair moved.—

(Nov 20 in 2 other cases difference of colour plain on 2 sides of Hairs.)

Shorter thread = 15/500 of an inch = 30/1000 = 3/100 —.03

Longer piece 19/500 of an inch.

Finest cotton 12th 10º A.m (ie 22º)

Shorter thread — Hair much curved — red much broken up whole length except colourless basal part — Head granular, but not more Red matter undergoing undergoes change of form. Convex side darker pink [sketch] — darker.

[72v]

Blotting paper 21/500 long = 42/1000 long

Rested on 3 hairs & caused all to curve into centre

Nov 12th → These 2 moved out of their rank & approached 1/2 way to centre.

11º 5 Thin [illeg] of Emma's Hair Red 1 on 2 quite straight Hairs in 12º 15' strongly curved i.e. in 1º. 10'

1 piece 9 1/2 /500 = 19/1000 of an inch long convex side pinker. No more change in red matter & no more spheres under those in many other hairs — Probably leaf has acted before Yes it is not a young leaf.—

2d piece barely 9/500 = 18/1000 all the Hair with few spheres under Heads— Pink plainer on one side than other in the incurved Hair.

I am certain I did not touch Hair gland as I put on under lens with damp needle moisten with water

[73]

Longer thread red broken almost to base.— Head a little more broken — / 3 other Hairs not broken, on one a trace of breaking / 20 other Heads Hairs not broken in few just a trace close to Head— Heads themselves all with orbicular collection of granules. I have now examined all Hairs, in most a little breaking up in the hairs for once or twice or even thrice length of Heads Now Now it is 10º 15' there are few small spheres. — The two curved Hairs all broken up into ovals threads & minute spheres wholly wholly different appearance!!!

It is probably due to incipient closing action of all Hairs.

[in margin:] This was a young leaf & therefore not likely to have Head broken up beneath

A third on the old leaf bit of thread was only 10/500 = 20/1000 of inch long curved; plenty plenty of breaking up but not so much as in former case, but caused the Hair of to be understandably much curved. —

Hair shows action cannot be due to absorption of secretion: — (Not shutting off the light—)

[73v]

Hair sent to be weighed 6 inches

Blotting Paper 11

Thread 30

It is extraordinary that slips of glass over cut-off Hair did not make red segregate — Either being cut off or water checks this action—

The Hair not by any means minims action.—
