1. Ditto. (White Galls.) 



c. Roasted.

 and which contain less tannin than those which are gathered before 

 the escape of the cynips. 



e. Aleppo galls. (" Minutes.") 



f. Ditto. (Small Crowned Aleppo Galls.) 



Note. Specimen e is probably the coriander gall mentioned by 

 Pereira; see Per. Mat. Hed., vol. ii., part 1, p. 369. Specimen / differs 

 very much in appearance from ordinary Aleppo galls, having a variegated 

 or marbled appearance, and being crowned at the top with a circle of 

 triangular tubercles which give the gall the aspect of a myrtaceous fruit. 

 Internally it presents a transversely oval cavity containing the grub. It 

 was presented by Prof. Guibourt. Both specimens e and / probably pro- 

 duced by a different species of cynips from that which yields the ordinary 

 Aleppo gall. For fig. of specimen /, see Hist, des Drogues, 7 eme ed., 

 vol. ii., p. 292, fig. 431.
