THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 53 



Lignicola (read Kollari), when the mournful intelligence 

 reached me that his labours were ended, and his observations 

 had ceased for ever." These notes were written, although 

 not forwarded, and are here produced, by kind permission of 

 the family, as an appendix to the other information there given 

 concerning this gall and its inhabitants. — E. Nefvman.] 



"Four inquilines are said by Dr. INIayr to inhabit this 

 gall : Ceroptres arator and C. pallicornis appearing from 

 April to June, S. melanopus and S. Reinhardi appearing in 

 May and June of the second year. He mentions two para- 

 sites — Callimome regius and Megastigmus stigmaticans ; 

 and observes that Diomorus calcaratus is a parasite of 

 Stigmus pendulus, which also inhabits this gall. 



" From some of these galls, gathered in the autumn of 

 1872, Cynips Kollari, Calliuiome regius, and Megastigmus 

 stigmaticans, emerged in July, 1873; also one male and one 

 female of Therophilus rufipes. I am indebted to the Rev. T. 

 A. Marshall for the name of this Braconid. In 1874 the 

 above galls produced 1 Callimome regius, female, July 23rd ; 



1 Megastigmus stigmaticans, male, July 17lh; 1 ditto ditto, 

 August 3rd.
