It is wonderful how much less action the Carbonate than Nitrate. I put in 2 very red & oldish leaves in 30 m. of 1 gr to 20 oz of the Nitrate & almost all the tentacles were inflected in 15'.— but the glands not rendered black though perhaps darker red—    I tried this from seeing so little action that I fancied these very new red leaves would not act

9. 33' no action on any carbonates

(2. 30' no 4 Carb. of Am. & no 4 water compared,   probably a trace more seg in the former than in the latter, but not well marked.)

   Certainly a little more seg in the C. of A. than in water
