TABLE XIII (c) 

 Fifth experiment (1905) 



Corn CuSO, Distilled .01— .05 .1 — .5 



Corn Cu(0H),.CuC03 Distilled .01— .05 .1 — .5 



Indicating equal toxicity of Cu as sulphate and as carbonate, and (com- 

 pare second, fourth and eighth experiments) great toxicity to corn in 

 distilled water. 



TABLE XIII (d) 

 Third experiment (1905). 



Beans CuSO^ Distilled .1 — .3 



Beans Cu(0H)o.CuC03 Distilled .1 — .3 



Toxicity to beans of Cu as sulphate and as carbonate was the same.

 Seventh experiment (1905) 



Squash CUSO4 Distilled .01— .05 .1 — .5 



Squash Cu(OH)2.CuC03 Distilled .01— .05 .1 — .5 



Toxicity to squash of Cu as sulphate and as carbonate was the same.

 Second experiment (1905) 



Cu in solution 



. A . 



Copper salt Kind of Growth retarded Growth arrested 



Culture employed water between, p. p.m. between, p. p.m. 



Corn Cu(0H),.CuC03 Well .1 — .3 .8 —1. 



Beans Cu(OH),.CuCO, Well .1 — .3 .8 —1. 



Toxicity of copper as Cu(OH)2.CuC03 to corn and beans was the same.

 Fourth experiment (1905) 



Corn Cu(0H),.CuC03 Well .05— .08 .8 —1. 



Squash Cu(0H),.CuC03 Well .1 — .3 .8 —1. 



Corn was somewhat more sensitive to copper as Cu(0H)2.CuC03 than 

 squash.

 Sixth experiment (1905) 



Beans Cu(0H),.CuC03 Well .1 — .3 1. —3. 



Squash Cu(0H),.CuC03 Well .1 — .3 .8 —1. 



Beans and squash Avere about equally sensitive to copper as Cu(0H)2.- 

 CUCO3 



These experiments, which are not stated in complete detail 

 here, indicate quite clearly : 



1. That the toxic effects of copper are less in the presence of 

 the salts ordinarily contained in well waters than in distilled-
