July 16th Nitrate of Ammonia 1 gr. to 300 oz.
(5) water 8. 35' (9. 18' 3 or 4 marginal sub-inflect) (4º. 34' about 9 sub-inflected, some that were inflected now reexpanded) (4º 45' all bit one reexpanded.)
Nitrate 8º' 29' (8. 38' much inflect) 9. 18' 31 [+] 18 [=] 49 all but 16 inflected & some of those torpid from having caught small fly) —(4º. 34', exactly the same) (4º 48', all but 14 inflected)
(6) water 8. 37 (9. 20' 6 marginal inflected) (4º 35' 4 inflected) (4º. 48', 5 marginals inflected, slight ring on disc)
nitrate 8º. 30' (8. 38' some inflect) 9. 18' all but 16 inflected & some of these torpid from having caught small fly (9. 20' a large number inflected)
(11. 35'abut half inflected) (4º 48' reexpanding)
(7) water 8. 38' (9º. 20', O') (11. 35' O) (4º 48' trace of ring on disc)
nitrate 8. 31' (9. 21' all but 20 extreme marginal inflected) (11. 37' all but 22 inflected) (4º 50' reexpanding)
It is quite probable that of I had tried many some wd have had all inflected with this strength
(8) water 8. 40' (4º 22', O) (11. 37' one on the sub-marginal sub-inflected) (4º 50' not more inflected)
nitrate 8. 33' (9. 23' a large number inflected) (11. 40' at 29 marginals sub-inflected & some few closely inflected) (4º 50' now a ring on disc)
9. 23', conspicuous difference between the nitrate & Water & between these & those with 1 gr to 400 oz (11. 40' difference still more conspicuous) 4º 50' Difference perhaps less, but still very plain.)
