These facts show conclusively that the leaves [illeg] differently, more especially in regard to the time of release, according to the nature of the substances placed on them.)    (See separate pages marked 11A, 11.B &c)

For ten seconds a slight but distinct change of position was visible, through a lens: in 2° 30" the pedical had curved through about 45 degrees: in 5' through about 90 degrees, & the glands & uppermost part of pedical was arched over towards the centre; when I looked again in 10' the atoms of meat were in the centre of the leaf. The movement as watched through a lens was like that of the minute hand of a clock.— This atom of meat was several hours afterwards embraced by all the hairs of the leaf.—
