(jarryana is not yet recorded by the botanists from northern 
Napa County) I cannot determine at this time; but it is 
certain that some variety of mirabilis is represented in that 
part of Napa County. 
I am naming this Cynips for the late Frank A. Leach of 
Piedmont and Diablo, California, one of the pioneer news- 
papermen of the state, formerly Director of the San Francisco 
Mint and formerly Director of the U.S. Mints. For a number 
of years Mr. Leach, with the aid of his son E. R. Leach and 
numerous friends, made collections of gall wasp material 
from a wide range of localities in California. Data from this 
material are acknowledged in two of my earlier papers, and 
in connection with many of the Californian insects treated 
in this paper. It will be some years, as we treat still other 
groups of Cynipidae, before we can fully appreciate Mr. 
Leach’s contributions, and I am glad to connect his name now 
with a conspicuous gall of the Pacific Coast.
