A LIST OF GALL-BEARING BRITISH PLANTS. 
BT H. W. KIDD* AND ALBERT MULLER.f 
Hoping in the course of a few months to commence a descripti^ 
list of galls, we beg your insertion of the following Catalogue of Plant 
The majority of them we know possess gaUs in Great Britain froi 
personal observation. Those marked with a note of admiration (!) ai 
plants said on reliable authority to possess gaUs ; while those marke 
with a note of interrogation (?) require inspection, either from th 
fact of their possessing galls on the continent, or upon which gvo^ 
excrescences of doubtful origin, or having been hinted at as probabl 
possessing galls. 
Plants, not indigenous, possessing galls in this country, are pre 
ceded by an asterisk. j> t
