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

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

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

(see Back)

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

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

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

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

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

   7O    trace of inflection in outer discals

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

( Count)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

July 13th    8O 30'.    Very young leaves were selected, but I do not understand why 3 out of the 8 leaves in Water during 21O to 22O 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.

   2O30'    discals a fine ring, the sub-marginals perhaps a little inflected.)

(7O all but 2 outer rows of marginals grandly inflected, lamina inflected)

   (13th    8O 20'    do)

   Phosphate    11O 13' (12O. 8', the barest trace if inflection in discals)

   (2O 30' do) (7O a narrow ring on disc.) (13th, 8O 20' do    sub-marginals sub-inflected)

(8)    water    11O. 20'    (12O. 9' 2 sub-marginals, sub-inflected) (2O 30' all reexpanded)

   (7O, do)    (13th, 8O 20' trace of ring on disc

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

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

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

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

(54 leaves in water) 7O 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
