It will be seen that the agreement between growth and 
changes of moisture is very striking, almost every marked 
alteration in the moisture of the air being accompanied by a 
corresponding change in rate of growth. And all three 
culms agree very closely in this respect. The parallelism 
was specially marked on August 19, on which day practi¬ 
cally no corresponding oscillations could be noticed in the 
degree of light, the whole day on the contrary being continu¬ 
ously dull. 
In the following table is given the average hourly growth 
in mm. from 7 A.M. to 6 P.M. and from 6 A.M. to 7 P.M. for each 
of the three halms on the three days of observation. There 
is a close agreement between these averages and the average 
moisture of the air on the respective days.
