U. vulgaris

Sep 19

Cut up a thin slice of fresh box wood into little pieces: which sink in water. In putting on one I thought i must have flirted it off the valve but on examining the bladder found it inside. I put * on another bit scraping it off the point of one needle with the other so that i think I certainly exerted no pressure on the valve; it disappeared inside instantaneously & the valve closed again I put another bit of wood on their same valve about 5 minutes afterwards at 11.10 poking it about with my needle & it would not go in – Examined Sep 20 11 AM not in

Sep 19 Put 3 bits on bladders called L, R, & "Rightmort", R 10.30, L 11.25, Rightmort 1230. At 11.30 I was pushing about the R one with decidedly very slight pressure when it disappeared in it was near the free extremely – of valve. Put another bit in the valve R
