Lignicola (read Kollari), when the mournful intelligence 
reached me that his labours were ended, and his observations 
had ceased for ever.” These notes were written, although 
not forwarded, and are here produced, by kind permission of 
the family, as an appendix to the other information there given 
concerning this gall and its inhabitants.—Z. Newman.) 
“Four ingnilines are said by Dr. Mayr to inhabit this 
gall: Ceroptres arator and C. pallicornis appearing from 
April to June, S. _melanopus and §. Reinhardi appearing in 
May and June of the second year. He mentions two para- 
sites—Callimome regius and Megastigmus sligmaticans ; : 
and observes that Diomorus calcaratus is a parasite of 
Stigmus pendulus, which also inhabits this gall. 
“From some of these galls, gathered in the autumn of 
1872, Cynips Kollari, Callimome regius, and Megastigmus 
stigmaticans, emerged in July, 1873; also one male and one 
female of Therophilus rufipes. I am indebted to the Rev. T. 
A. Marshall for the name of this Braconid. In 1874 the 
above galls produced 1 Callimome regius, female, July 23rd ; 
1 Megastigmus stigmaticans, male, July 17th; 1 ditto ditto, 
August 3rd.
