allied to Ceratostemma, under which it should perhaps 
be included. 
GONOGONA. A synonym of Goodyera (which see). 
GONOLOBUS. 4G. hispidus should be classed here- 
under, and not under Fischeria. See also Fischeria, 
Lachnostoma, and Marsdenia, under which genera 
ois species formerly included under Gonolobus are now 
classed.

see). 
GOODYERA. Syn. Gonogona. The species are found 
in Europe, Madeira, tropical and temperate Asia, and 
(according to Reichenbach) New Caledonia and the Masca- 
rene Islands. To those described on p. 81, Vol. II., the 
following should be added. A few plants formerly included 
here are now referred to Hemaria.

G. Menziesii, G. procera, and G. reticulata are also in cultivation 
~ at Kew. 
G. 
white, hairy outside. 
GOOSEBERRY. There is little to add to the infor- 
mation given in Vol. II. The importance of good drainage 
cannot well be over-estimated. If this be at all defective, 
the growth is stunted, the fruit is small, and the bushes 
are soon coyered with moss, which is undesirable, as it 
affords shelter to many of the worst kind of pests. The 
soil should also be loosened where the bushes are to be 
planted. If heayy and tenacious, burnt refuse, road- 
serapings, or strawy ‘manure should be worked in to 
render it more porous. On the other hand, if light and 
sandy, marl or clay may be beneficially employed. If, too, 
animal manures are used when the bushes are bearing, 
great assistance will be given. Planting is best done from 
the middle of October to the end of November, and in dry 
weather. 
Pruning is an important operation, and should be done 
immediately after the fruit is ripe; then the cultivator is 
better able to see where the congested growth is sitnate. 
Where, however, birds are a nuisance, it will be advisable 
to defer pruning until spring, otherwise the buds will be 
taken, and the crop suffer in consequence. 
Insects, §c. To the list of destructive pests enumerated 
on p. 83, Vol. II, several others should be added— 
Gooseberry Mite (Bryobia pretiosa), Gooseberry and 
Currant Scale (Lecanium ribis), Winter Moth (Chei- 
matobia brumata), Otiorhynchus picipes, Dot Moth 
(Mamestra persicarie), which see, and Gooseberry 
Mildew. The majority of these are of sufficient import- 
ance to receive treatment under their respective headings. 
Sorts. Following the plan of the work, we have placed 
the new varieties of merit in their respective classes, based 
upon the colour of the fruits. Those marked ¥ are specially 
recommended for flavour, and those marked s for size. 
Class I. Fruit with Red Skin. 
Companion (fF). Fruit light red, hairy. Habit rather spreading. 
Forester (Ss, F). Fruit bright red, hairy, very early. Branches 
erect. An abundant cropper. 
Lancashire Lad (s, F). Fruit dark red, hairy, early. A 
favourite market variety. 
Speedwell (s, F). Fruit pale red, hairy, early. 
and erect. An abundant bearer. 
Whinham’s Industry (&). Fruit deep red, medium to large, 
hairy. A valuable variety for market, being early and a great 
bearer, with branches erect. 
Branches strong 
Class II. Fruit with Yellow Skin. 
Diamond (s, F). 
bearer. 
Golden Gem (s, '). 
An abundant bearer. 
Gunner (5s, &). Fruit dark yellow. 
Fruit yellow. Branches partly erect. A good 
Fruit bright yellow, late. Branches erect. 
Branches erect. A great 
bearer, 
Class III. Fruit with Green Skin. 
Angler (Ff). Fruit deep green, medium, early. Branches erect. 
A profuse bearer.

Class IV. Fruit with White Skin. 
Duchess of Sutherland (Ff). Fruit white, oval, medinm size, 
good flavour. Branches spreading. A moderate bearer. 
Sheba Queen (fF). Fruit white, medium. Branches erect. Good 
cropper. 
GOOSEBERRY AND CURRANT SAWFLIES 
(Nematus ribesii and N. consobrinus). Popularly there is 
supposed to be but one representative of this family 
infesting Currants, the latter msect frequently being over- 
looked. This may be accounted for chiefly by the two sects 
approaching one another so closely in general appearance 
as larve, thongh consobrinus is smaller than the better- 
known ribesii, and is found later. When full-fed the 
caterpillar is a bright green, except the first and the 
last segments, which are yellowish, the black processes 
(tubercles) which characterise the young larve being 
absent. 
To the remedies suggested in Vol. II. may be added: 
Paris Green (loz. to 20 gallons of water), carefully sprayed
