Note * — Chapter VI · THE DIGESTIVE POWER OF THE SECRETION OF DROSERA.
Reading edition
In all my numerous experiments on the digestion of cubes of albumen, the angles and edges were invariably first rounded. Now, Schiff states (‘Leçons phys. de la Digestion,’ vol. ii. 1867, page 149) that this is characteristic of the digestion of albumen by the gastric juice of animals. On the other hand, he remarks “les dissolutions, en chimie, ont lieu sur toute la surface des corps en contact avec l’agent dissolvant.” [page 94]
