Riley, C. V. (p. 325). The nervous system and salirary glands of 

 Phylloxera. (The author acknowledges that Dr. E. L. Mark, in Psyche 

 for January, is correct in his criticism, and that In the author's previous 

 Illustration of the anatomy of Phylloxera he had mistaken the breath- 

 ing for the nervous system. Further the author believes, m opposition 

 to Cornu, that the swellings are caused by the action of the salivary 

 fluid of Phylloxera acting as an Irritant to the circulation of the vine 

 and not that the swellings are produced solely by the mechanical action 

 of the tongue disturbing the processes of the growth of the plant.
