Jarvis refers this to Carman's Phytoptus fraxini, but 

 Carman describes the mite as very different and distinctly sepa- 

 rates the two. Jarvis says : " upon white ash glabrous," Carman : 

 " a slight clothing of white hairs." See no. 71.

*70 A deformation of the terminal buds, their development

Specimens from Albany; recorded also from Brooklyn. N.Y. 



This resembles a fungoid growth, like that on A 1 n u s 



r u g o s a , but Dr Felt assures me that he has seen the mite. 



He considers that it is the staminate flowers which are affected, 



hence his name for the species. 



Fraxinus lanceolata (viridis) (green ash) 

 71 A small, light green capsule-gall on the leaf, sometimes 

 irregular or confluent. Opening beneath, pubescent. The mite 

 is Eriophyes fraxini (Carman).

Fraxinus pennsylvanica (pubescen*) (red ash) 

 ^2 Capsule-galls similar to no. 69 ; hairy.

This, also, is probably wrongly referred by Jarvis ; see remarks 

 under our no. 69.
