several delicate moths, which, packed with this provision, reached us 
unhurt. 
Having given at pp. 199, on the authority of the ‘‘ Gardener’s 
Monthly” for October, some remarks on Phylloxera said to have been 
made by Mr.C. V. Riley, we gladly make room for the following correction 
in the “ Monthly ” for November, just at hand :— 
“ PHYLLOXERA—CoRRECTION.—Friend Meehan: In your October 
issue, speaking of some remarks of mine before the Academy of Natural 
Sciences, you have the following, the italics being mine : ; 
Prof. Leidy inquired of Mr. Riley the true position of the insect in 
scientific classification ; Prof. Riley replied that it was not yet well settled. 
Its appearance brought it somewhere near the aphids, but it did not have 
successive broods from one impregnation; aphids did. In this respect it 
“approaches coccus. He thought it between the two families. 
Iam sure I said no such foolish thing. What I did say was that the 
insect belonged to the sub-order Homoptera, and that while it was at 
present classed with the plant-lice (Aphidide) it bears close relation to 
the bark-lice ( Coccide.)  Phylloxera multiplies agamically like all the 
Aphidide, and therefore does produce successive broods from one 
impregnation. Yours truly,
