It will be seen that, so far as the description goes, it corres- 

 ponds very closely with that which is given for Phylloxera vas- 

 tatrix. The extreme difficnlty of successful dissections with 

 these minute insects is sufficient explanation of the failure of 

 the accomplished Italian to make out satisfactorily the super- 

 oesophageal ganglion. 



I will also aA'ail myself of this opportunity to confirm for 

 Ph. vastatrix the observation of Targioni-Tozzetti, made on an 

 oak-infesting species, that the Malpighian vessels are absent ; 

 and finally to add that Targioni-Tozzetti has demonstrated the 

 presence of a pair of salivary glands in the Phylloxera which 

 he has studied. E. L. M.
