GENUS i.—CYNIPS GALL-FLY. 
* 
Cynips Quercus Folii . 
T is in the little fmooth, round, hard galls, found 
under the oak leaves, generally fattened to the fibres, 
that this infeft is produced; a fingie one in each 
gall. 
Thefe latter are ligneous, of a hard, compafl fub- 
fiance, formed like the nett, by the extravafation of 
the fap of the leaf, occafioned by the pun&ure of the 
gall-fly, When it depofits its eggs. 
(Sometimes an ichneumon lays its egg in the tender 
gall ; and the larva devours that of the cynips.)
