Schl., is possibly also identical; Andricus petioli, Htg., = wo<7M/e; A. hnr^ 
gundus, Schl., is a Neuroterus, and is named schlechtmdali, p. 62 (redescribed,

Evidence of the existence of parthenogenesis in the Cynipidoi is reca- 
pitulated and commented upon by v. Siebold ' Beitrlige ’ &c. pp. 228-230. 
Flight of Cynips : Walsh’s remarks on this subject are discussed, and a 
personal experience recorded, by Bye, Ent. M. M. vii. p. 266. 
Oak-galls from Morocco : cf. observations by Muller, Pr. E. Soc. 1871, p. ii. 
Cynips ramuli : galls from the Drachenfels are referred to : id. Ent. M. M. 
vii. p. 254. 
Cynips koUari: the migration in Gt. Britain northwards of this sp. is 
recorded by Jordan, ibid. viii. p. 61. Hardy (P. Berw. Nat. Club, 1871, 
p. 249) notes the occurrence of this gall in the Scotch border counties, and 
even in Scotland itself. He considers it was originally brought to the west 
of England in some ship, being common in the Channel Islands. It also 
occurs at Killarney. 
Andricus curvator : for observations on its inner gall, cf. Muller, 1. c. vii. 
p. 230. 
Neuroterus ostreus is recorded as British : id. ibid. p. 209. An error in 
Ent. iv., wherein N. reaumuri is called Neip'obius, corrected : id. 1. c., note. 
Bathyaspis aceris : Giraudj Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. (6) i. p. 416, notes the 
different galls of this sp. on Acer monspessulanum ; those on the leaves 
enclosing parasites and not the Cynips, which is always found in the larger 
spherical galls, usually occurring at the end of a branch. He also maltes 
some observations upon the ovipositing of this insect.
