Pans for Retaining Power of Soils 



The results of different workers can be made comparable by the use 

 of uniform pans and a uniform method for the determination of the 

 maximum water-retaining power of soils. The pans here shown are 

 of heavy copper sheet, with perforated bottom and with wall 1 cm. 

 high. They are 11.5 cm. in diameter and hold approximately 100 

 cc. of soil, an amount small enough for easy handling and large 

 enough to avoid serious errors in weighing. A circle of thin filter 

 paper should be placed in the bottom. See Hilgard's "Soils," p. 209.

THE BELLANI PLATE 



THE PLANT WORLD 



The Bellani Plate is a new type of Atmome- 

 ter presenting a flat horizontal evaporating sur- 

 face 7.5 cm. in diameter, attached to a glazed 

 hemispherical funnel. These instruments are 

 calibrated to a standard plate of the same type. 

 As compared with a free water surface this Plate 

 presents all the advantages of a fixed and un- 

 changing evaporating surface which is not liable 

 to accidental disturbance.
