Having found that his investigation on Mimosa had broken down the
barriers which separated kindred phenomena, Dr. Bose next communicated
the results of his wonderful researches to the Royal Society. His paper
was read, at a meeting of the Society, held on the 6th March 1913. The
Royal Society _now_ found that Dr. Bose had rendered the seemingly
impossible, possible--had made the plant tell its own story by means of
its self-made records. It could no longer withhold the recognition which
was his due. The barred gates, at last, opened and the paper of Dr. Bose
"On an Automatic Method, for the investigation of the Velocity of
Transmission of Excitation in Mimosa" found publication in the
"Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society" in Vol. 204, Series B.
