In the original, from which the foregoing abstract is copied, Linsser 
gives the so-called probable error or the limit of uncertainty as 
deduced from the agreement among themselves of the numerous 
individual determinations of the physiological constants in zone A, 
whereas the mean values alone are given in our summary. It 
appears that the uncertainties are larger for the ripening phase than 
for the leafing and blooming phases, if we consider only their 
absolute values, but decidedly smaller if we consider their relative 
values. In general the uncertainty of the constant for leafing is 
about one-twentieth of its own value, the uncertainty of the constant 
for blooming is about one-fortieth of its own value, and the uncer- 
tainty of the constant for ripening is about one-fiftieth of its own 
value.
