BY G. H. HARDY. 103 



I am indebted to Mr. Rodway for drawing my attention 

 to this species, and for the name of the tree. He obtained 

 the specimens from two trees standing on the Waterworks 

 track half-way between Gentle Annie Falls and the Fern 

 Tree Hotel. I subsequently visited the spot, but failed to 

 find galls similar to Mr. Froggatt's figs. 5 and 5a. 



The type specimen is mounted on a microscope slide with 

 two others ; there are also three other cotypes mounted in 

 the same manner, and a number of specimens in spirits. I 

 am indebted to Mr. H. M. Nicholls, Government Entomolo- 

 gist and Pathologist, for mounting the specimens. 



I failed to find any case of parasitism in these galls. 

 Many anomalies, however, came under my notice which 

 seem to forecast an interesting life history.
