With specimens of all the types mentioned, I have obtained 

 multiple growth-responses when the constituent pulsations 

 were not too rapid. In some cases, indeed, the effects 

 were so marked that they did not even require a balancing 

 arrangement to render them conspicuous. As an instance 

 of this, I shall give a record of the growth-response of a
