%X An account is given of rhythmic variations which have been observed in the electric field generated by bean roots growing in water. These electric oscillations which have periods of about 5 min have been studied using apparatus which records automatically at frequent intervals the potential pattern near the root. A description is given of this apparatus and of a very sensitive instrument for recording the rate of elongation of the root.
