TABLE IV.—Showing the Results following section of Pinnules at different
points in Pinnæ —continued.

No. of Experi- ment.	Result.
14	Commencing centrifugal action in that pinna; action in the primary pulvinus; completed action in the cut pinna extending nearly to the tip; long pause. centrifugal action almost to the tip of the remaining pinna (a two-pinnaed leaf).
15	Pause; action in that and the opposite secondary pulvinus; slow, spreading action in the bases of both proximal pinnæ; pause slight action in the bases of both distal pinnæ; no further result; primary pulvinus rigid.
16	Long pause; slow, centrifugal action in the base of that pinna; pause; action extended almost to the tip; slow action in the basal half of the remaining pinna (a two-pinnaed leaf); no further result; primary pulvinus readily responsive to mechanical impulse.
17	Pause; very slow, imperfect action in the basal two-thirds of both pinnæ (a two- pinnaed leaf); no further result; primary pulvinus rigid.
18	Pause; slow, centrifugal action in that and the other proximal pinna; pause action in the primary pulvinus; slow, partial action in the other two pinnæ.
19	Slow, partial, imperfect action in that pinna; action in the primary pulvinus; slow, partial action in the remaining pinnæ.
20	Action in the primary pulvinus; imperfect action in that pinna; long pause; partial action in the basal two-thirds of the other pinnæ.
	C.—Section of tips of central pinnules of proximal pinnæ .
21	Pause; imperfect centripetal action in that pinna; pause; very imperfect centri- fugal action in it; no further result; the primary pulvinus readily responsive to mechanical impulse.
22	Pause; centripetal action in that pinna; very imperfect centrifugal action in it; very slow, imperfect action in the basal halves of the remaining pinnæ; no further result; primary pulvinus readily responsive to mechanical impulse.
23	Pause; imperfect centripetal action; pause; very slow, imperfect centrifugal action; action in the primary pulvinus; imperfect action in the remaining pinnæ; no further result.
24	Pause; centripetal action in that pinna; centrifugal action in it; action in the primary pulvinus; incomplete action in the other pinnæ; no further result.
