Midge galls 



i Vein gall on the under side of Crataegus leaves, Lobopt- 

 eromyia venae Felt and Dicrodiplosis veni- 

 talis Felt were reared, the latter probably an inquiline.

 Felt 



5 Larger leaf roll on poplar, adult unknown 



6 Reddish, globular leaf gall with slit on under surface on poplar,

 Asphondylia diervillae 



ii Globose basal enlargement of poplar leaf, possibly an early 

 stage of the reddish, tumid, irregular gall resembling that 

 of Lasioptera vitison grape, producer unknown

under surface of poplar leaves, adult unknown

16 Cylindric, fimbriate gall on Crataegus from which has been
