Found another "[[image vertical squiggle line]] S. [[underline]] [[^ siliqua]] [[underline]] ] rigida" gall on S. cordata, but the beak of the gall recurved [[image: of gall]] like the tongue case of Sphinx 5 maculata. Larva .06 inch long, bright opaque orange, with a ventral & dorsal polished semi-translucent broad orange vitta.

X Aug 8.9 Found at Coal Valley young cottonwoods with just such pseudogalls as those of Saperda inornata Say, containing legless larvae 1/2 - 3/4 inch long.

Took 3 or 4 Nisoniades Brizo at Coal Valley & saw many more, all smaller than Juvenalis & apparently distinct.

Took 5 sp. of a new [[underline]] Cordulia [[underlined]] & saw haunting the creek [[^ at Coal Valley]] either a Cordulegaster or a Gomphus (spinosus?) very wild & could not catch it.

[[line]]

Argynnis Bellona pretty abundant there. Took 3 or 4 for the first time this year at Rock Island.

Found [[underline]] Haltica alternata? [[underline]]  [[?]] & pale varieties flying abundantly in a patch of Salix humilis.

X Found leaves of a Salix  [[^ = S. semen]] (nigra from memory) covered [[^ all over]] with little irregular warts, similar to the "curl" on peach leaves [[^ as]] described by Harris. (Report Pomological Society p.4) Perhaps my S. aenigma a similar origin. No larvae in the warts, [[^ as also black knot on plums]] but noticed a larva of [[underline]] Anthocoris pseudochinche [[underline]] crawling on the 2 or 3 leaves brought home. This larva & imago too occur both on S. brassic. (very abundantly) on S. rhodoides & S. strob. more rarely.
