Oct 3d /73/ I have just squashed some fresh red tentacles on paper & added C. of Amm 1 gr to 1 oz & paper immediately rendered dirty green. Again I squashed some tentacles between 2 dry plate of glass & much purple juice exuded, which was quickly rendered colourless by a drop of above C. of Ammonia. — This is important observation, as it shows that the segregated masses which are purple are not due to actual absorption, but to the same molecular action which follows from mechanical irritation.

Oct 19' C. of Am 3 gr to 1. oz twice to reddish purple stain from old Hairs green [specimen]

This is important as yesterday I saw that the spheres were pink below Heads which were where action was started by the sol. of 1 gr to 12 oz
