hVinge creature within it, this hangeth many times two yeres on 



the twiggs, and then also have had maggotts within them as I have 



seene. 



Gallae foh'orum quercus. 



There is often to be seene in Autumne on that part of the 

 leaves which is next the ground a round pill or ball without a foot- 

 stalke, sometimes 8, lo or more on one leafe, reddish on that parte 

 next the sunne, smooth on the outside, or with little sharpe extuber- 

 ances, verie like both in forme and bignes to the trewe galls, onlie 

 wantinge hardnes, but contayninge a softe spongious matter within, 

 and often a maggott, and a hole by the side. These beginn to 

 appeare most comonlic about the middest of July, of the bignes of 

 a pease, sometimes by the middest of May of that bignes, as the 

 15 of May 1622 when I only sawe them. — MS. f. 85. 



Walnut. Jiiglans regia L. 

 Cachrys Juglandis. 



The Cachryes beginn to appeare in Aprill a little before the 

 leaves are seene, and doe thrust themselves forth of the sides of the

Chestnut. Castanca sativa Mill.

 leaves, but one out of the bosome of one leafe ; composed of a midle 

 ribbe or footstalke about 7, 8 or 9 ynches longe when they arc at

 sides with small scalelie bunches, which about the middest of July

 cheives of a very pale or light yealowish color as are also their 

 topps, they appeare very slender in respect of their length, and 

 soone after their cheives open or appeare they wither and fall 

 away. These begin to come forth about the beginning of July,
