No. 1. Not satisfactory for the purposes specified.
" 2. The staining is here an [estimation?] to [study?] rather than a
help.
No. 3. This good.
No. 4. [?]; too thick and over stained.
No. 5. This good.
No. 6. This pretty good. Contains many reticulated [?] also.
" 7 Too thick.
No 8. The two sections not taken from equally old parts of stain,
The longitudinal–section too thick for study.
The cross section very good.
No 9. Too thick. The common information of [preparating?]
that section of [?] [?] must be made diagonally is an [?]
one. Then should be for study good cross and longitudinal
sections, as in the care of all other tissuses of plants.
No 10. A very good specimen so far as it goes, but it should be supplemented
by a cross section of [each?] part of stain as these
longitudinal sections were taken from.
No 11. Pretty good so far as it goes; a little too thick. Should have
a longitudinal section.

" 13. Good, although a bit of epidermis peeled off
from the leaf, and un-stained would be [?] better.
and far less troublesome to prepare.
No 14 Good
No 15 Good, but same criticism hold as for no 13.
