B. pomiformis (p. 367, with Plate VII, fig. 7). This is a well-known spacies, 
always found on a Bloodwood of some kind. Mr. Froggatt originally got it from King's 
Sound, North-west Australia, under the Barrier Range, about 100 miles inland. The 
natives there eat the large gall, which when fresh is soft and acid, not unlike a sour 
apple, and they look upon the fat white Brachyscelid as a very dainty morsel. He 
also quotes Mr. Chisholm, of Torrens Creek, near Charters Towers, North Queensland, 
who says, " It is known as the Bloodwood Apple, and the blacks are fond of eating it." 
Dr. H. Basedow has also collected it in the same general area. 
B. rugosa (p. 369, with Plate VII, fig. 5). Found at Allalong ( I Bllalong) in the 
Maitland district, N.S.W., on an undetermined species. 
B. Tlwrntoni (p. 371 , with Plate VI, fig. 6). (B. nux Olliff). Found at Newcastle 
on an undetermined species of Eucalyptus. " It is closely allied to B. pharelrata and 
B. nux Olliff, but differs considerably from both. The female galls often spring out 
in clusters of five or six at the base of the leaves, and when immature look like a bunch 
of finger-shaped excrescences." See a note, op. cit., xx, 204 (1895), in which Mr. 
Froggatt states that he confounded two very distinct species in the description. It 
has been found on E. capitdlata at Sydney by Mr. J. L. Boorman. 
B. tricornis (p. 361). It has a triangular gall, and was found on E. sifarophloia 
at Rookwood, between Sydney and Parramatta. It is closely allied to B. munita. It 
has not often been collected. 
B. variabilis (p. 364, with Plate VII, fig. 2). Found at Thornleigh, near Sydney, 
on E. piperita, and also at Cambewarra, Newcastle, and Lismore (all N.S.W.) on 
undetermined species. Since found on E. pilnlaris, near Gosford (A. Murphy).

by W. W. Froggatt (Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xviii, 209, 1893 (1894), with Plate VIII. 
This part is confined to Opistlioscdis and Ascelis, which see. 
Part III, op. cit., p. 335, with Plates XVI, XVII. This paper deals with one 
species of Brachi/scdis and eight of Opisthoscdis. Following is the Brachyscelis : 
B. umbdlala (p. 336, with figs. 1-2 of Plate XVI). It has affinity to B. subrotunda, 
and was collected at Cobar, N.S.W., on an undetermined species of Eucalyptus. It 
has been sent from E. oleosa F.v.M. from Lake View, Griffith, by W. D. Campbell. 
Also found on E. dumosa, Cobar (J. L. Boorman).

to the Linnean Society of New South Wales, and in Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W., xvii, 378 
(1892), it was stated that it would appear in the forthcoming Macleay Memorial Volume 
(1893), but it did not so appear. See Claude Fuller, below (1896).
