To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
5 12 noon 65 70 I ECHINOCACTUS No. 6.
On November 7, 1908, a large Echinocactus was taken from the bajada west of Tumamoc Hill, the roots trimmed neatly, and the plant was found to weigh 28.573 kg. It was put on a mounting weighing 1.149 kg., the preparation thus amounting to 29.722 kg. The crown bore 17 ripening fruits, which were carefully noted at each observation, as given below.
The preparation was placed in the room with No. 1.
On December 8, 1909, the weight was found to be 29.310 kg., i...ndica- tive of a loss of 412 grams in 31 days, or a rate of 13 grams daily. The daily rate of No. 1 for the same period was but 1 gram daily. Doubtless some of the excessive rate of No. 6 during this period may be ascribed to loss from the freshly wounded surfaces from which the roots were cut.
Other and unknown causes must have contributed to a total action by which the rate of transpiration in the open was thus maintained after being brought under shelter, as was noted in No. 5.
On May 12, 1909, one fruit had been lost and the weight was now 28.360 kg., which indicated an estimated water-loss of about 935 grams in 155 days, an average rate of 6 grams daily.
