In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed at Washington, this second day of December, A.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed, this fifteenth day of September, A.

A glass filament, not thicker than a horsehair, and from a quarter to threequarters of an inch in length, was affixed to the part to be observed by means of shellac dissolved in alcohol.

A glass filament with a bead at its end was affixed to the basal half or leg, just above the hypogean cotyledons, which were again almost surrounded by loose earth.

Their hypocotyls were secured to sticks, and glass filaments bearing little triangles of paper were affixed to the cotyledons of both.

A filament with a bead at the end was affixed to the basal leg, the movements of which were observed during two days in the usual manner.

In order to ascertain more accurately the nature of these movements, the hypocotyl of a seedling, with its cotyledons well expanded, was secured to a little stick, and a filament with triangles of paper was affixed to one of the cotyledons.

The soil was removed from around one of these arched secondary shoots, and a glass filament was affixed to the basal leg.

A filament was not affixed to it, but a mark was placed beneath the apex, which was almost white from beginning to wither, and its movements were thus traced.

Circumnutation was observed in the above specified cases, either by means of extremely fine filaments of glass affixed to the radicles in the manner previously described, or by their being allowed to grow downwards over inclined smoked glassplates, on which they left their tracks.

As a little loop of fine thread hung on a tendril or on the petiole of a leafclimbing plant, causes it to bend, we thought that any small hard object affixed to the tip of a radicle, freely suspended and growing in damp air, might cause it to bend, if it were sensitive, and yet would not offer any mechanical resistance to its growth.

As soon as the beans had protruded radicles, some to a length of less than a tenth of an inch, and others to a length of several tenths, little squares or oblongs of card were affixed to the short sloping sides of their conical tips.

Eighteen radicles were tried with little squares of sanded card, some affixed with shellac and some with gumwater, during the few last days of 1878, and few first days of the next year.

This occurred chiefly when the first curvature was small, and when an object had been affixed more than once to the apex of the same radicle.

Judging from several cases in which various objects had been affixed with gum, and had soon become separated from the apex by a layer of fluid, as well as from some trials in which drops of thick gumwater alone had been applied, this fluid never causes bending.
