Lang .: The act or proce of transpiring; exhalation through the skin; evaporation.

Cudworth: Intell. System , p. 769. transplant 2. Bot .: The emi ion of watery fluid from the leaves of plants, a proce continually going on. The vapor from the watery contents of the cells pa es from them into the intercellular adjacent spaces and canals, thence into the chambers beneath the stomata, finally reaching the external atmosphere either by them or by the invisible pores of the epidermis. The vapor is in most cases invis ible, but sometimes water distills drops large enough to be easily seen. The amount of moisture thus given off depends on the amount of moisture in the atmosphere, the temperature, any concu ions to which the plant may be subjected, and the age and size of the leaves. Transpiration in plants is analogous to perspiration in animals. "If transpiration is suddenly stopped in branches which ordinarily transpire strongly, the leaves fall, while plants which thrive in a moist atmosphere often preserve their leaves for a long time in saturated air."-Field, Jan. 1, 1887. 1. Pulmonary transpiration : Physiol. The exhalation of watery vapor from the lungs. It becomes visible in frosty weather, and condenses on the beard and moustache. It varies in amount according to the proportion of water in the blood and of aqueous vapor in the atmosphere. 2. Transpiration of gases: The motion of gases through a capillary tube. The velocity of transpiration is independent of the rate of diffusion. Ganot: Physics (ed. At kins on), § 143, gives the following laws on the subject: (1) For the same gas the rate of transpiration increases, other things being equal, directly as the pre ure; that is, equal volumes of air of different densities require times inversely proportional to their densities. (2) With tubes of equal diameters, the volume transpired in equal times is inversely as the length of the tube. (3) As the temperature rises the transpiration becomes slower. (4) The rate of transpiration is independent of the material of the tube. 3. Transpiration of liquids : The pa age of liquids through small pores or capillary tubes. trăns-pir-a-tor-y, a. [Eng. trans pir at ( ion ); -ory.] Of or pertaining to transpiration; transpiring, exhaling. trăns-pire', v . t .
