REPORT OF THE STATE ENTOMOLOGIST I907 I45 



Jarvis's identification with Carman's form is probably erroneous ; 

 the galls are very different, see our no. 131. The same error ap- 

 pears to have been made by Cook for no. 136. Probably no. 129 

 was intended. 



Salix bebbiana (rostrata) (B ebb's willow) 



128 See no. 127. 



Salix cordata (heart-leaved willow) 



129 A purple or. pale green capsule-gall, projecting either above 

 or below the leaf, or both. 



Carman '83 p. 137 (Phytoptus s p .) 111. 



This seems to agree well with the foregoing, and may be the 

 cause of the confusion indicated. 



Salix discolor (pussy willow) 

 '^'130 The same as no. 127. 



Jarvis '07, p.6o Ont. 



Our specimens, believed to be this form, are strongly pilose above 

 and thickly pubescent beneath, the aperture with swollen pro- 

 truding margin, agreeing closely with the galls of E r i o p h y e s 

 tetanothrix laevis ( Nalepa) , on Salix c a p r e a of 

 Europe, figured by Connold '01 [Brit. Veg. Calls, p. 164, pi. 66]. 

 From Cravel pond near Crafton, Rensselaer co., and from Catskill, 



N. Y. 

 Salix fluviatilis (longifolia) (long-leaved w^illow) 



"^131 A leaf deformation consisting of one or two narrow longi- 

 tudinal upward folds extending lengthwise of the leaf, opening by 

 a slit below. Color, yellowish green to brown. The mite is E r i o - 

 phyes salicicola (Carman) . 



Carman '83, p. 138, Phytoptus salicicola 111. 



Parrott '07. N. Y. Agric. Exp. Sta. Bui. 283, no. 2 

 Specimens from Irving, Chautauqua co. N.Y. 



Salix fragilis ( ?) (brittle willow^) 

 132 Deformation of leaf and twig, usually clustered near the 

 terminus, whitish green at first, turning grayish black by winter. 



Jarvis '08, p.93, first sp., pi. D, fig. 5 Ont. 



This is unquestionably " S a 1 i c i s a e n i g m a " (our no. 133) 

 on a new host if Jarvis's identification of the latter in the ex- 

 plantation of plates is correct, But why not S , nigra?
