74

June 9th /74/    Precipitated Carb of Lime diffused in distilled water.

(like milk)

2 leaves    12O 37'

12O 43' (i e after 6m) !! very marked inflection & much lime (almost every single tentacle much subinflcted) adhering to viscid secretion — How does it get to gland ?   (to 'I' below)

(Give analogous case of S. of Quinine)

I observe under strong power of simple microscope on many of glands excessively minute particles of C. of lime : I presume water sets the viscid secretion into movement & these particles are sucked in. These particles per hundred many time smaller than the bits of hair &c — which I placed on secretion. —

Comes under small particles acting

(I have been putting glands in water & I can June 10th only say that drops of secretions swells up instantly & largely.)
