May 13' 8° 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. —

12° 0 effect — Temp 60°

5° 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' 8° 10' A.m dusted 10 leaves with powdered glass, became more or less inflected in 10' — great inflection by 4° 45'. I tried several glands before putting on acid

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

May 14th 8° The glycerine was distinctly acid (Temp. 57 8° 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—
