AC. Eriophyes (?) spec. Q. ped ; rows of long spaced abnormal 



hairs, and numerous very minute, elongated red pimples of 



- the nature of swollen hairs on the leaf midribs ; the latter 



also on the blade in their immediate vicinity ; the gall mites 



themselves exceptionally elongated. The lane along the 



base of King Wood. 



"DW .^^Arnoldia qiiercicola Kief?. 0. ped. ; in the same lane. The 



"" enlarged buds contained both white and red larvae.

Biorrhiza pallida Oliv. Q. ped. ; King Wood. 



Cynips kollari Htg. Q. sess. ; Roundhay Park. Last year's. 



Cynips (?) spec, Houard, No. 1210. Greenish yellow to pale 

 yellow brown ovoid galls, with thin woody walls, minute, 

 completely concealed within the basal portion of a bud, the 

 only outward indication of their presence usually being the 

 round perforation in the side of the bud made by the escaping 

 imago, although there is sometimes a slight torsion apparent. 

 The remains of the galls are like eggs with the tops removed. 

 The distribution is given as the British Isles and Austria, and 

 the agent concerned is stated to be Neiiroterus defectus Htg. 

 or N. poliius Htg., or Andricus pitnctatits Bignell. 



Q. ped. ; in the lane along the base of King Wood. The 

 peculiarity in this case w-as that there were two galls side by 

 side within an enlarged bud of Arnoldia quercicola Kieff. I 

 have known the gall for two years as it is abundant in Booth - 

 royd Wood and less so elsehwere in the Huddersfield district, 

 and have bred out the flies which are awaiting identification.
