A. Thornley took an Acarid or Mite, Phytoptus 



myrideum, from the galls on the maple leaves. It is of the 



same genus as the Phytoptus ribis, which causes the flower-buds 



of the black currant to form cabbag-e-shaped heads. 



The Rev. A. Thornley, M.A., F.L.S., F.E.S., reported:— 



Threatening weather in the morning- ; and wind and rain in the 



early afternoon quite extinguished any entomological hopes. 



Nevertheless a little collecting was done on the perfectly ideal 



ground, and the results obtained showed what a magnificent 



promise awaited collectors, but a promise, alas ! left unfulfilled 



through the untoward weather.
