Hoio many Broods are there of Camptogrammajluciata ? 

 — During the present year I have taken this insect at the 

 lamps here as follows : — June 11th, a worn specimen ; July 

 23rd and 25th, two specimens ; August 3rd, two specimens. 

 Last season I met with it in September and October. — Id. 



Gall of Salix herhacea. — Enclosed is a little gall, which 

 from its location may be curious ; and if you know any 

 Entomologist who has studied galls you would confer an 

 obligation if you could get me the name of the fabricator of 

 this. When on Ben Lawers, in Perthshire, last week, in 

 searching for mosses, I noticed a little slope near a marsh, 

 on which a number of a small red fruit (as I at first thought) 

 were apparent, and supposed it might be a little Vaccinium ; 

 but to my surprise, on gathering the seeming fruit, it proved 

 to be a red gall, distorting the leaves of Salix herbacea. 

 What is curious in the gall is its size in proportion to the 

 little prostrate Salix on which it is dependent for its nourish- 

 ment, and the simulation of little berries that it presents to 

 the eye upon the sloping side of the mountain, where the 

 Salix creeps to a considerable extent, so that there seemed 

 to the eye a numerous crop of red berries on the ground 

 amongst the moss. The height of the slope on which the 

 Salix was located on Ben Lawers could be little less than 

 3000 feet. — Edwin Lees ; Green Hill Summit^ Worcester^
