Found in them two [[image - elongated]] which had manifestly got the yellow gathered at the one end (the small end) thus [[image]] Cut off the [[^apparently]] empty end & found [[strikethrough]] A [[/strikethrough]] whitish fluid & the yellow squeezed out shapeless & yolk-like. Eggs? In the gall the [[underline]] small [[/underline]] end always uppermost or next the tip of the gall; the [[underline]] large[[/underline]] end is often embedded in the solid stalk. Of 29 obtained, 14 were plump & 15 flattened & apparently dead. [[bracketed]] X May 9. I have a gall similar to small [[underline]] s. batatas [podagrae] [[/underline]] found on "[[strikethrough]] strobiloides willow [[/strikethrough]] salix cordata" which I notice today has been bored probably by Chalcididae. It is in miscellaneous jar. No Cecid. yet from that jar, though lots of s. pod. chalcid.
