After the description of this species in 19ls more flies issued from 

 the original lot of galls (collected in fall of 1914) on March 24 and 

 April 10, 1919. The next spring the cage was not examined until 

 May 1, when molded flies Avere found that probably emerged some 

 weeks earlier. This makes it certain that the emergence of the 

 species was distributed over at least five seasons and probably six. 

 In addition to the published data on distribution, the Avriter has seen 

 galls at Washington, D. C. ; Bluemont, Va. ; Marianna, Fla.; Tex- 

 arkana. Ark. ; Ironton and Poplar Bluff. Mo. ; Porter. Ind. ; and in 

 Illinois at Evanston, Fort Sheridan, Lake Forest, Glen Ellyn, and 

 Moline. Prof. C. R. Crosby collected galls at Syracuse and River- 

 head, N. Y. Galls collected at Moline in fall of 1914 gave flies April 

 24, 1916. Galls collected at Glencoe in fall of 1916 gave flies March 

 23, 1918, and more March 24, 1919. Galls collected at Ironton in 

 fall of 1917 gave flies March 20 to April 11, 1919, and more April 11, 

 1920. Brodie collected galls at Toronto in October, 1892, and found 

 larvae alive in the galls May 24. 1894. but failed to rear the maker. 

 Another lot collected at the same time he buried in the earth in a 

 flower pot, and when dug up April 10, 1895, after 30 months, the 

 galls were in good condition. Avith living larvae inside.
