of an inch in thickness, containing over 1000 pale pink larval 
tubes, each of which is a distinct individual tube separated from 
any other at the tip. 
Hah. — Wingham, Manning River (Mr. William Allan). 
The specimen from which this is described was received with 
the note that it was not uncommon in that district. It consisted 
of single large Eucalyptus leaf carrying five female galls, sur- 
mounted with gall masses nearly as large as the one described, 
with several smaller ones, all of which sprang from the edge of 
the midrib of the leaf. 
I have another variety of this gall obtained by the Rev. T. W. 
Alkin near Campbelltown, which is much more uniform in shape 
than the former; in this specimen there are six bright pink coloured 
galls springing from either side of the midrib of a very slender 
Eucalyptus leaf; the female gall is not more than half the length, 
the male gall mass much more funnel-shaped, containing on an 
average about 100 male tubes in each mass. 
The gall described as the male of B. Thorntoni is another 
variety close to the Campbelltown one, of which I have had four 
specimens from around Wallsend.
