Three distinct trunks springing from same base.

Height of trunk about 25 feet, much branched 

 and broken. Galls very numerous on both 

 sexes, evidently very injurious, almost every 

 shoot on many of the trees being affected. 

 The young trees not nearly so much so, and 

 often a tree will be nearly free, though close 

 alongside one that is much affected. It seems 

 from this and other instances as though the 

 gall insects had not any great power of 

 locomotion, and that they keep to the tree
