A.L.S. 2 p. Printed in Darwin Frances. The Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, V. 2, p. 495.

Transcript: bulb obliquely, not touching the bottoms of the (?) with 3 oz. of (?) (?) & I (?) (&?) (moved?) (the?) (?) (about?).

At 130° there is never any inflection, but the leaf is not killed as is proved be subsequent inflection when placed in a Sol. of Carb. of Ammonia; & by re-expansion when afterwards placed in pure water. The vitality of the leaves is also shown by the aggregation of the protoplasm when the leaves are give Carb. of Amm. All this holds good until the leaves are heated up to or above 145°.
