several deiicate moths, which, packed with this provision, reached us 

 unhurt. 



Having given at pp. 199, on the authority of the " Gardener's 

 Monthly" for October, some remarks on Phylloxera said to have been 

 made by Mr. C. V. Riley, we gladly make room for the following: correction 

 in the " Monthly " for November, just at hand : — 



" Phylloxera — Correction. — Friend Meehan : In your October 

 issue, speaking of some remarks ol mine before the Academy of Natural 

 Sciences, you have the following, the italics being mine : 



Prof. Leidy inquired of Mr. Riley the true position of the insect in 

 scientific classification ; Prof. Riley replied that it was not yet well settled. 

 Its appearance brought it someiuhere near the aphids, but it did not have 

 successive broods from one impregnation ; aphids did. In this respect it 

 approaches coccus. He thought it between the two families. 



I am sure I said no such foolish thing. What I did say was that the 

 insect belonged to the sub-order Homoptera, and that while it was at 

 present classed with the plant-lice ( Aphididce) it bears close relation to 

 the bark-lice (Coccidce.) Phylloxera multiplies agamically like all the 

 Aphididce, and therefore does produce successive broods from one 

 impregnation. Yours truly, 



C. V. Riley."
