8. Mr. Froggatt has an article entitled " The growth of Vegetable Galls," in the 
Agric. Gaz. N.R.W., ix, 385, 488 (April and May, 1898), which deals in a popular manner 
with galls of various kinds. At p. 488 he gives a general account of the Coccida3 (Sub- 
family Brachyscelinte), and takes cognizance of Brachyscelis, Ascelis, and Opistlioscelis . 
He points out that Schrader's name, Brachyscelis, has been changed by E. 
Riibsaamen (Berliner Entom. ZeitscJtrift, 1894) into Apiomorpha, and that this change 
of name has been adopted by T. D. A. Cockerell in his " Check-list of Coccidae," published 
by the Illinois State Laboratory of Natural History. He, however, follows Maskell in 
retaining the old name, and invites attention to his protest in Trans. N.Z. Inst., xxix, 
p. 294, 5 (1896) against " such arbitrary alterations." It seems, however, that ento- 
mologists have since decided to sink Brachyscelis in Apiomorpfia. 
Mr. Froggatt's article deals ((inter alia) with B. (Apiomorpha) Karaschi Rubs. 
' This appears to be somewhat allied to the previous species (B. Fletcheri), only the 
masses are more regular, and only one gall-cell enclosed." (Froggatt in Agric. Gaz. 
N.S.W., ix, 494).
