July 12 /73    Phosp. of Ammonia    1 gr to 400 oz    10

(1) Water 11. (11. 25' 1 inflected) (2. 25' only sub-inflected)

   (7º. O) (13th, 8. 15' discals & outer marginals showing trace of ring) (Temp 65°—)68° (about 67° in study had been before very warm in greenhouse with sun shining)

(see Back)

   Phosphate 10. 49' (11. 25' 2 or 3 inflected) (12. 5 inflected

   2º. 25' a decided ring on disc & some sub-marginals sub-inflected

   7. all sub-marginals except 2 or 3 outer rows grandly inflected)

   (13th 8º. 15'    all more or less inflected except marginals, extreme)

(2)    water 10. 59' (12. 18 of marginals inflected) (2. 23' reexpanding (?)

   7. trace of inflection in outer discals

(13th    8. 15— fairly distinct ring on disc.)

   Phosphate 10. 51' (12. perhaps a trace in outer discals) 7. 25' outer discals sub-inflected with a few sub- marginals.— (7. fine ring on disc)

(13th    8. 15', all inflected except, 2 outer rows)

(3)    water 10. 58'    (12, O) (2. 25 outer discals forming an imperfect ring

   (7. excellent ring on disc) — (13th 8. 15 splendid ring, all except outer marginals inflected

   Phosphate 10. 53' (11. 3' considerably inflection) (11, 25' all except 6, most closely)

   (12. 3'    all except 4 inflected) (2. 25'    all but 6 closely inflected

(7. do laminae slightly inflected) (13th. 8. 15'    beginning to reexpand.)

(Count)

(4)    water 10. 57' (11. 3', 6 marginals tent inflected) (12. 3' do) (2. 26 marginals do, discals tents, forming a half-circle.) (7º, fine ring on disc, submarginals sub-inflected)

   (13th 8. 15' fine ring, all except outer marginals inflected)

   Phosphate    10. 54'    (11. 3' some inflection) (11. 27', decided slight inflection over pedicel & at polar end on disc.

   (12. 4' some of sub-marginal also sub-inflected.)

(7. outer discals & inner sub-marginals finely inflected)

(13th    8. 15', all except outer marginals inflected.

It is pretty clear that discals more easily effected than marginals)

July 13th    8. 30'.    Very young leaves were selected, but I do not understand why 3 out of the 8 leaves in Water during 21. to 22. had all there discal & sub-marginal tentacles greatly inflected ; & 3 others with those on the disc forming a ring ; 2 alone not having been affected. Nevertheless there is still a great difference in appearance of the 8 in the weak Phosphate , for 4 have not only tentacles, but laminae inflected, & a 5th with lamina slightly do — a 6th with very many tentacles inflected, & the remaining 2 with only the discal & sub-marginals forming a ring not so plain as in some of the water ones — on the whole 4 of the Phosphate are now not more inflected than the best water specimens; whilst 4 are much more so— The great different was the rate of inflection.

   Phosphate    11. 15'    (11. 28'   all except 6—8 tents)

12. 10' all except 3 inflected, but about 10 only subinflected. Count

(2. 30' only 23 not inflected, all the other so much more closely inflected.)

(7º, lamina well inflected) (13th    8. 20'    do)

(54 leaves in water) 7. P.m It is absolutely impossible to compare the 8 in ( Count) water & Phosphate & doubt fewer of latter, though less plain than in the stronger solution

See back of p. 10. of this M.S. : as 1/1600 of a grain for 100 oz we have here for 400 oz 1600 [x] 4 [=] 6400 Refer t last page

So that each leaf has 1/6400 of a grain of the Phosphate of ammonia. — The dilution is by weight as 1 of the crystallised Phosphate to 175000 of water.

Glass (3). (P. 14) its leaf carried 227 tentacles & 4 were not inflected = 223 for calculation X - X (to first calculation below)

Glass 8    its leaf carried 185 tents less 3 = 182.    There for each gland X - X (to second calculation below)

223 [x] 6400 Glass 4 [=] 1,427,200    ie 1/1,427,200 of a grain acted

182 [x] 64,00 (glass 8) [=] 1,164,800    ie 1/1,164,800 of a grain acted

Add up these 2 leaves viz 227 & 185 & previous ones in this M.S. to the general average of tentacles for each leaf
