Ines, the bud was absent. I counted a field note as if it had survived the transfer, then let the caption certify it. I have removed the specimen card, put the three observed stages directly on the runner with their separate dates, and kept the sheet at reading-table scale; enlarging the hand for the wall would make the trench into scenery. Your first tea went cold outside my door while I worked, so this is also my late answer: I finished a sheet that needed your question.
