CYNIPIDiE. 
Von Schlechtendal (S. E. Z. xxxi. pp. 338-347, 370-308) gives parti- 
culars of the economy (especially with reference to the galls) of the following 
spp. : — Cynips calicis, Bgsdff., Ugnicola and koUari, Htg., gemmcc, L., collaris 
and corticalis, Htg., corticis, L., r-adicis, F., autu?nnalis, callidroma, glandidce,

C. ramicola, p. 395, injiorescentm and tegmentorum, p. 'ii^Q,fasciata, marginalis, 
and vesicatrix, p. 397. 
PuTON (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4e s^r. x. Bull. p. xxxviii) raises the question 
whether the galls formed by Cynip)S are injurious to vegetation, such having 
been the case in an instance mentioned by him. 
Marshall (Ent. M. M. vi. pp. 178-181) tabulates and briefly refers to

Britain. 
Smith (Ent. Ann. 1871, pp. Gl-63) records his observations upon 4410 
galls of Cynijis Ugnicola, in the unrealized hope of detecting the (J of that 
species.
