an egg in it, and the larva, when full grown, eats 

 its way out. These diminutive beetles can be 

 seen flying and crawling about the trees in early 

 summer. 



The subject of our illustration, A. coliinia, 

 stands in the grounds of His Grace the Duke 

 of Northumberland at Syon. It is a perfectly 

 formed tree, sixty feet in height, and is probably 

 the most remarkable specimen of a hazel in 

 Great Britain.
