|§r 2 .—Length of Growing Region of Dendrocalamus. 
On July 3 to 10 a series of the lower intemodes of No. 1 
were measured with the following result 
Table VIII. 
Length in mm. of internodes 12-17 from base of halm on 
July 3-10. 
And from these measurements together with those of the 
total growth of the culm previously recorded the following 
table is obtained :—

So that during this period the average distance of the base 
of the lowest growing node from the apex of the halm was 
4-935 metres. 
When No. 1 was broken down by the wind on August 
14 the lengths of the successive intemodes were carefully
