Topper figures the species (op. cit., Plate III, fig. 1), proposes to call a small form 
found on Mallee Eucalypts var. reducla, and gives the habitat of the species as southern 
and eastern Australia. He says it is found on E. leucoxylon and E. gravttis in South 
Australia. I do not know if this is the same as B. redwta, abortive galls of which are 
figured (Plate IV, fig. 2h), see also p. 275. See also p. 286, pres3ut we rk. 
Mr. Froggatt says that Apiomorpha cornifex Riibs., is a synonym, and that the 
agglomerations of male galls have been received not inaptly labelled." Vegetable Coral." 
See Agric. Gaz. N.S.W., ix, 490. 
B. m-icola Schrader (B. ovicoloides Tepper). Fig. a, Plate II of Schrader, shows 
a branch of Eucalyptus Jiamastoma with several male galls and one young female gall 
of this species (Schradcr). This is one of our commonest species, has a wide range over 
the southern parts of Australia, and is found on at least a dozen v. ry different sorts of 
Eucalypts. Mr. Froggatt, at Proc. Linn. Soc. N.8.W., xvii, p. 368 (1892), specifically 
quotes it on E. gracilis and E. leucoxylon at the Whipstick Scrub, Bendigo, Victoria, 
and on an unknown species at Wellington, N.S.W. These (Agric. Gaz. N.S.W., ix, 492) 
are said to be " large White Box Gums," and are presumably E. hemiphloia var. albens. 
I have received it from the following additional species : 
E. amplifolia, George's River, Cabramatta, near Sydney (W. F. Blakely). E. 
bicolor, Paldrumatta bore, via Wilcannia, N.S.W. (P. Corbett); Bourke (J. L. Boorman); 
Kaneira, Victoria ( W. W. Watts). E. dealbata, Mount Elliott to Binya, E. Mirrool ( W. D. 
Campbell), E. dumosa, East Mirrool (W. D. Campbell). E. mdliodora, Warren (J, L, 
Froggatt). E. oleosa, East Mirrool (W. D. Campbell). E. populifdia, Warren (J. L, 
Froggatt). E. propinqua, Raymond Terrace (E. Cheel). 
B. phareirata Schrader. Fig. 2, Plate I (Schrader). See also Froggatt, (Proc. 
Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xvii, 370, 1892). 
' This is known as the Cockscomb Gall, from the cock's comb-like appearance 
of the male gall mass. It is not an uncommon gall about Sydney . . . Schrader 
in his paper gives a drawing of the male galls of this species on the twigs, but there 
must be some mistake, as I am certain that the male galls are always produced upon 
the females." (Froggatt, loc. cit.). Found at Botany on E. Sieberiana, at Berowra 
on E. corymbosa, and at Mosman's Bay on E. capitdlata; these are all Sydney localities; 
also at Cambewarra and Newcastle, N.S.W., on an undetermined species. Found also 
on E. capitdlata, Popran Trig. Reserve, near Gosiord (W. A. W. de Beuzeville), Neutral 
Bay, Sydney (Dr. J. B. Cleland). On Eucalyptus sp. at Kendall (Dr. J. B. Cleland). 
B. pileata Schrader. Fig. 1, Plate I shows a branch of Eucalyptus hwmastoma 
with " excrescences" (galls) made by this species (Schrader). This is further described 
by Froggatt (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xvii, 362, 1892, and xxiii, 372, 1898, with a 
figure). He records it from E. piperita (Rose Bay), E. Sieberiana, and E. capitdlata 
(Mosman's Bay), both Sydney localities. It is found also at Newcastle. 
Mr. Froggatt (Agric. Gaz. N.S.W., ix, 491) says there is another form, thicker, 
shorter, and more broadly oval, also found in the neighbourhood of Sydney, but on 
E. robusta.
