authors to a fpecies of protuberances of the gall kind, 

 found very frequently on the oak. They are of a roundilh 

 figure, and fonietimcs adhere to the tree by a fhort pedicle, 

 but more frequently by a part of their fpheric fiirfacc. 

 They are ufually found on the under fide of the leaves of 

 the oak, but fometimes on the young (hoots, and fonietimcs 

 on the pedicles of the leaves. 



They are mod frequent in fpring, but they are found at 

 all timer, when the leaves are upon the trees. Thefe galls 

 are grceniia nt firft, and afterwards become yellowirti, and 

 finally red ; in which laft (late they very much relemble the 

 fmall red goofeberry. They are very foft to the touch, 

 and when opened arc found to contain a juicy fubftance, 

 with a cavity in the midft, in which there is lodged a fm- 

 j^le infect. This, according to the time in which the gall 

 is opened, is found in the form of a white worm, or elle of 

 a white chryfalis, or finally of a fmall (hort-bodicd four- 

 winged fly of a black colour ; for the creature does not 

 leave the gall to go through any of its changes, but palTes 

 all its Hates in it. The gall, in all tliefe cafes, is found 

 whole and unhurt ; but if one is opened in which there is 

 a hols pierced, this is fure to be found empty, that bemg 

 the pafiage by which the fiy has made its way out. Reaum.
