In this paper the author gives an aeeouiit of the contents of a 
work published in 1832 by Harnmersehmidt, entitled ‘^Observa- 
tiones physiologico-pathologicae de Plantarum gallarum ortu, 
insectisque excrescentia proferentibus.^^ Tliis work consists 
merely of seven lithographic plates, with explanations in MS. 
Frauenfeld identifies the species of gall-producing insects, which 
are represented with their galls.

The author, who appears to have been quite ignorant of Dar- 
win^s work on the Fertilization of Orchids, describes various 
instances of the pollen-masses of those plants having been found 
attached to the heads of insects, and especially to tlie globose 
eyes of some Longieorn Beetles and Lepidoptera. He ascribes 
the discovery of the adherence of these pollinia to insects to Von 
Siebold.

The entomological portion of this paper relates chiefly to 
noxious insects. A large blue fly (Calliphora, sp.) attacks 
the sheep, and kills them in a few hours. Cockroaches (Blatta 
amet'icana) are abundant. Fleas are very common, but are said 
to have been introduced by Europeans. The natives abound 
with lice. Large locusts, also said to have been introduced from 
Australia, are often very destruetive. An enormous green 
grassho[)per (Locusla imperialism Montrouzier) also occurs. The 
species of (jleoeores are very numerous.
