A solid, globular, monothalamous gall on the stem. About 2 cm. in 

 diameter. Round larval cell. This gall is frequently found in winter 

 broken open, usually by the chickadee {Partis atrlcapillus Linn.) Insect, 

 of about the size of a house-fly, emerges in the spring. Very common on 

 goldenrod, Solidago. 



Undetermined lepidopterous gall. Fig. 105. 



An oval, one-celled gall around the base of the stem, apparently 

 lepidopterous. Ridged lengthwise. About three times the diameter of the 

 stem and 25 mm. long. Rather thin-walled when mature. July. On 

 goldenrod, Solidago.
