Abstract
TO solve the problem of the mechanism of the JL absorption of electrolytes by the plant cell, we need accurate knowledge of what goes on inside the cell. This cannot be obtained with cells of ordinary size. We have therefore studied very large multi-nucleate plant cells, especially those of Valonia1. Since this work has called forth comments2, due to misunderstanding, a brief statement of facts is submitted, although this statement is naturally far from being complete.
