May 13' 8º the albumen in Glycerine & Acid (1 — 400?) as angular as ever see old notes for when immersed — seems preservative. —

say I used to test the glycerine & A. which I used. —

12º 0 effect — Temp 60º

5º 30' as sharp as ever — T. do

(Begin with glass splinters acid but probably no pepsine, or digestion — Then albumen & shred dissolves, but I could never carry on digestion, though I tried in many ways — explain if Schiff is right & of very little secreted, for all wd be consumed, though I am aware many take a different view & deny that any around.)

Possibly glycerine does not dissolve this ferment

May 13' 8º 10' A.m dusted 10 leaves with powdered glass, became more or less inflected in 10' — great inflection by 4º 45'. I tried several glands before putting on acid

The leaves were feebly acid at 4º 50' put on 4 or 5 drops of glycerine. ie after 8º 30' of inflection on 8º of inflection.

May 14th 8º The glycerine was distinctly acid (Temp. 57 8º Am) in vessel plain which had the leaves & Drosera a little left in & 3 or 4 drops of distilled water & cube of albumen; after adding the water, still coloured litmus paper

Many glass failure

Vessel with Black paper mark — squeeze out some glycerine & added 2 or 3 drops of Hydrochloric 1 to 200 of a water & albumen

Watch glass [refine] leaves with much viscid pink matter adhering, added several drops of H. 1 to 400 & albumen—
