Abstract
IN his letter in NATURE of October 23, Prof. N. G. Ball throws doubts upon the validity of my conclusions that in Mimosa (1) the transpiration-current has nothing to do with the conduction of the excitatory impulse, and (2) that the conduction is a phenomenon of propagation of protoplasmic excitation. I would refer Prof. Ball to my work “The Nervous Mechanism of Plants” (1926) for accounts of experimental demonstrations fully justifying the above conclusions. Limited space available allows me to refer here only to a few of the more important results.
