In my previous work on "Plant Response" (1906) I described detailed investigations on irritability of plants which I carried out with highly sensitive recorders. The plant was thus made to tell its own story by means of its self-made records. The results showed that there is no specific difference in physiological reaction of different organs to justify the assumption of positive and negative irritabilities. A generalisation was obtained which gave a complete explanation of diverse movements in plants. The results were fully confirmed by an independent method of inquiry, namely that of electric response, which I have been able to elaborate so as to become a very important means of research. The investigations described in the present volume not only support the conclusions reached in my earlier works, but have led to important additions. It is evident that the range of our investigation is limited only by our power of recording the rate of plant-movement, that is to say, in the measurement of length and time. In these respects the instruments that I have been able to devise have surpassed my sanguine expectations. The Resonant Recorder traces time-intervals as short as a thousandth part of a second, while my Balanced Crescograph enables us to measure variation of rate of growth as minute as 1/1000 millionth of an inch per second, the sensitiveness of this apparatus thus rivals that of the spectroscope. The increasing refinement in our experimental methods cannot but lead to important advances towards a deeper understanding of underlying reactions in the living organism. I shall here draw attention to only a few of the important results given in the present volume. The tropic effect of light has been shown to have a definite relation to the quantity of incident light. A complete tropic curve has been obtained from sub-minimal to maximal stimulation which shows the inadequacy of Weber's law, for the sub-minimal stimulus induces a _qualitative_ difference in physiological reaction. It has further been shown that the prevalent idea that perception and heliotropic excitation are two distinct phenomena is without any foundation. With reference to the effect of ether waves on plants, I have given an account of my discovery of the response of all plants to wireless stimulation, the results being similar to that induced by visible light. The perceptive range of the plant is thus infinitely greater than ours; for it not only perceives, but also responds to different rays of the vast ethereal spectrum. The results obtained by the method of geo-electric response show that the responsive reaction of the root is in no way different from that of the shoot, the opposite movements being due to the fact that in the shoot the stimulation is direct, and in the root it is indirect.
