76 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



solid, no open caviiy, larva strictly confined in centre of gall, 3 mm. long. 

 The parasites which I have bred from this gall are P. conquisitor, P. 

 inquisitor , C. extrematis, Ephialtes sp., C. gelechia. 



The structure of the galls, the habits of the larvae, and the mode of 

 exit from the gall, are very similar to those of G. solidaginis, and are all 

 very fully described by Kellicott, in the article above referred to. 



I have found what seems to be a lepidopterous gall, very rare about 

 Toronto, on stems of Aster corymbosum, a spindle-form gall immediately 

 under the flowering panicle, not at all like the gall figured by Kellicott 

 but I failed to rear anything from them. 



I found A. corymbosum very common all through the Temagami 

 district, and the gall not especially rare, but as the galls I collected were 

 immature, neither the producers nor parasites emerged from them. 



The Ottawa Naturalist for January consists of a series of tributes 

 of respect and aftection in memory of our deeply-lamented friend, Dr. 

 James Fletcher. A meeting of the Ottawa Field Naturalists' Club was held 

 on the first of December, and appreciative addresses were given by many 

 colleagues and friends, all expressive of the highest admiration for his 

 varied scientific attainments and the warmest affection for him whose 

 kindness, geniality and unselfishness won the hearts of all who knew him. 

 Mr. W. H. Harrington, an almost life-long companion, gives a most 

 interesting account of their early days together, when they explored forest 

 and field and streani collecting insects and plants, and how the intimate 

 knowledge of nature thus obtained caused him to become such a recognized 

 authority in both botany and entomology. All these addresses will be 

 read with the deepest interest by the many friends of him whom they 

 commemorate.
