Quercus platanoides (bicolor) (swamp white oak) 

 115 Very small pocket-galls, crowded upon the upper side of the 

 leaf. 



Hagen '85, no. 64 Conn. 



Quercus rubra (red oak) 



"^'116 A brown erineum on the under side of the leaf. Trichomes 

 fine, simple, matted. The mites are very numerous, white or pinkish. 



Specimens from the Indian Ladder, Helderbergs (Mr Burn- 

 ham). N.Y. 



Specimens in the State Herbarium from Sand Lake (Professor 

 Peck), and a single loose leaf without data, marked " E . qu e r - 

 c i n u m probably," have larger patches with some light or whitish 

 portions. See our no. 118, and the following. 



Quercus velutina (black oak) 



*ii7 A velvety red erineum on the under side of the leaf, the 

 young parts greenish. Trichomes simple, matted. 



Specimens in the State Herbarium from Buffalo (Mr Clinton) 

 labeled Erineum q u e r c i n u m . N.Y. 



Although more brilliantly colored than the preceding it is struc- 

 turally the same with that, with no. 114, and probably also no. 11 1. 

 Whether these are the true Erineum q u e r c i n u m I can not 

 determine; see the following. 



Specimens from South mountain, Catskills. N.Y. 



Quercus sp. 



118 Erineum quercinum Link no. 7. "in foliis."

 pallidis nitidis. Fila compressa, intricata, mollia. Hab. in fol. 

 Quercus p u b e s c e n t i s . Phyllerium quercinum 

 Kunze." This agrees passably with the preceding forms referred 

 to it by Professor Peck (nos. 114, 116, 117).
