(36.) Small piece of card, rather less than 1/20th of an inch square, gummed to apex:  in 9 h. considerably deflected from card and in opposition to Sachs’ curvature; after 24 h. greatly deflected in the same direction.  After an additional day the extreme tip was curved towards the card.

(37.) Square of card, gummed to apex in front, caused after 8 h. 30 m. hardly any effect; refixed fresh square laterally, after 15 h. deflected almost 90o from the perpendicular and from the card.  After 2 additional days deflection much reduced.

(38.) Square of card gummed to apex:  after 9 h. much deflection, which after 24 h. from time of fixing increased to nearly 90o.  After an additional day terminal portion was curled into a loop, and on the following day into a helix.

(39.) Small oblong piece of card gummed to apex, nearly in front, but a little to one side; in 9 h. slightly deflected in the direction of Sachs’ curvature, but rather obliquely, and to side opposite to card.  Next day more curved in the same direction, and after 2 additional days coiled into a ring.

(40.) Square of card gummed to apex:  after 9 h. slightly curved from card; next morning radicle straight, and apex had grown beyond the card.  Refixed another square laterally with shellac; in 9 h. deflected laterally, but also in the direction of Sachs’ curvature.  After 2 additional days’ curvature considerably increased in the same direction.

(41.) Little square of tin-foil fixed with gum to one side of apex of a young and short radicle:  after 15 h. no effect, but tin-foil had become displaced.  A little square of card was now gummed to one side of apex, which after 8 h. 40 m. was slightly deflected; in 24 h. from the time of attachment deflected at 90o from the perpendicular and from the card; after 9 additional hours became hooked, with the apex pointing to the zenith.  In 3 days from the time of attachment the terminal portion of the radicle formed a ring or circle.

(42.) A little square of thick letter-paper gummed to the apex of a radicle, which after 9 h. was deflected from it.  In 24 h. from time when the paper was affixed the deflection much increased, and after 2 additional days it amounted to 50o from the perpendicular and from the paper.

(43.) A narrow chip of a quill was fixed with shellac to the apex of a radicle.  After 9 h. no effect; after 24 h. moderate deflection, but now the quill had ceased to touch the apex.  Removed quill and gummed a little square of card to apex, which after 8 h. caused slight deflection.  On the fourth day from the first attachment of any object, the extreme tip was curved towards the card.

(44.) A rather long and narrow splinter of extremely thin glass, fixed with shellac to apex, it caused in 9 h. slight deflection, which disappeared in 24 h.; the splinter was then found not touching the apex.  It was twice refixed, with nearly similar results, that is, it caused slight deflection, which soon disappeared.  On the fourth day from the time of first attachment the tip was bent towards the splinter.]
