      the glands are I think coated, & I thought so ▿2 or ▿3 hour ago

   9. 45    immensely inflected & blackened

   (11O the black is spreading from the little points

   (2O 55'    put into pure water) There were films on black fluid which looked silvery whether really so, I know not .)

Sept 10th    8O 30'    Astonishing black — evidently killed.

Sept 19th 9. A m — the fluid is now dingy purple & there is much more inherent golden films on surface & apparently on the gland— So that I do not know whether some may not aggregate in the fluid. — I can see quite plainly layer of gold over disc of 2 leaves which I discovered yesterday— This looks as if falls on disc— Perhaps safest wd be to say is precipitated on or near the glands which go on secreting &   probably some aggregation in the generally fluid

(Sept 19 20th In course of day ie the 19th the oily golden film certainly increased so that the gold does aggregate from the secretion, but I think most energetically from the on or close to the glands— These golden films when lifted off on paper are purple with a metallic coat on the surface — Plenty of gold on disc & glands of other leaves— the paper from bit being coarse enough does not shine, but this case shows surface of gr purple matter becomes metallic — The bottom of saucer in which fluid was is all fairly gilded. —

(I put a drop of nitrous Muriatic A. on the fairly gilded saucer & it entirely removed the gilding & this left white spot)
