SCIEOTIFIC COMMITTEE. 
W. W. Satji^ders, Esq., F.R.S., in the Chair. 
The Belgian Delegates, MM. de Cannaert d'Hamale, Kegeljan, 
and Morren, and Mr. Haliburton, from !N'ova Scotia, attended the 
meeting. 
Mr. Berkeley brought a specimen of Pear blossom with a second 
generation of buds arising from the pedicels. 
He also showed branches of a Pine the tips of which were dis- 
torted by a minute Coccus. 
Mr. Smee brought specimens of Almond and Peach leaves 
blistered, as Mr. Berkeley supposed, by a minute Fungus. Mr. 
Smee was disposed to attribute it, however, to the action of an 
Aphis. He brought in illustration Currant leaves clearly blistered 
by the Aphis which was so destructive last year. Some trees 
were quite killed by it, but others sprouted freely, and he had 
observed that the new shoots were attacked by an Aphis of quite a 
diff'erent kind. 
Branches of Juniper were sbown by Dr. Masters swollen by a 
species of Podisoma which, like Cyttaria and Apodanthes, produces 
a new crop year after year.
