Abstract
To make clear the point of view from which the experiments hererecorded were undertaken, a few words on the modern theory of gravitational sensitiveness are necessary. For fuller details the reader is referred to the papers of Noll, Nĕmec and Haberlandt, to whom the theory in question is due. When a geotropic organ suffers a change of position it responds by an appropriate curvature, and ultimately reassumes verticality. With the mechanism of curvature I am not concerned, the problem to be solved is the source of the stimulus to which the curvature is a response.
