of the plant had been for some time exposed to strong, direct sunshine. Under
such circumstances, there was much more complete and extensive action than
under the conditions present in the case of the experiments of the preceding
table, the cut leaves acting completely in 13 of the 15 cases, and action extend-
ing to a second leaf in one.
