Asks for a specimen of Pinguicula.
Asks FD to come early to write from dictation.
Thanks Amy for her drawing of Utricularia montana.
Has been examining Utricularia minor. Same essential structure but catches smaller Entomostraca. One bladder had 24, another 20, and another 15 Entomostraca. "What slaughter! We must make out the functions of the beast––".
Information about insects on Pinguicula leaves.
Describe the Pinguicula species found at Mürren. Have found seeds on some. Their large roots seem to indicate that they do not get much animal food.
