(On Movement of Tentacles)

(It is interesting that much less C. of Ammonia if absorbed by gland will cause it to bend, than that required to act from central disc, though many glands have there absorbed the C. of ammonia.)

(As inorganic atoms caused by single tentacle to the centre, & there the central glands radiate (?) cut irritation to the surrounding tentacles & cause inflection, the motor influence must be transmitted to the glands, & from the glands present down to the base of each tentacles for segregation always commence in the glands & close beneath them.

Carbonic acid [5 words illeg] the segregation action.

If the segregation in these cases was caused by the bending of the basal part of tentacle, the segregation wd proceed from the base of tentacles to upward to gland, & thus I have never seen yet after carefully during many cases. — very good) The gland acts like a ganglion in an economy animal economy [illeg] impression & transmits motor influence — In my discussion "on the "lines of transmission of sensory & motor influence", first discuss single tentacle, & then whole leaf. —) (over)

[in margin:] This had better come in where I discuss lines of motor action.)
