Aug. 17. Opened 12 or 14 [Aster] [[insert]] Helianthus [[/insert]]  leaf - qalls; found 3 or 4 [[image - larvae]] with Proctotr. larvae like Westw. figure. Preserved [[insertion]] ^ [died] [[/insertion]]. Also 2 with external feeding Chalcide? larvae. No healthy larvae or pupae. Larva does not certainly jump, like Asteris globulus larva, but rolls over laterally.  The galls containing the above were [[underline]] not [[/underline]] open as with the empty ones. hence hole must be bored by pupa, not natural growth.
One [[underline]] [Asteris] [[insertion]] Helianthi [[/insertion]] globulus [[/underline]] found yesterday was bored by 7 holes, the Cec. pupal integument still projecting from one hole.

Aug. 21  three larvae of a Cuterebra taken out of the neck of a rabbit [[insertion]] ^ about [[/insertion]] 1.40 inch long & .75 inch in diamr. very pale [[insertion]] ^ brownish [[/insertion]] color, covered by very close set black tubercles or short [[insertion]] robust [[/insertion]] thorns [[/insertion]] ^ so as to appear blackish [[/insertion]].

end of the trumpet to the under side of the leaf. [[insertion]] ^ Hollow & walls thin. [[/insertion]] Tip extreme tinged with pink. Length .16 - .20 inch, the tip often slightly curved. Basal diameter .10 - .13 inch 

Larva milky white, .075 inch long 2 1/2 times as long as wide, breast bone [[insertion]] ^ yellowish brown, [[/insertion]] [[image]] shaped, [[insertion]] distinct [[/insertion]] the 3 arms subequal, the basal arm robust, the terminal arms exactly parallel.

Gall [[underline]] [[?]] cucurbita [[/underline]] (Cecids.) An irregularly oval, [[insertion]] ^ or subglobular hard [[/insertion]] gall of an [[insertion]] opaque [[/insertion]] greenish white color with a pink or sometimes purple cheek like an apple, its sides [[strikethrough]] [[insertion]] more [[?]] [[/insertion]] obsoletely striated & [[/strikethrough]]  [[insertion]] ^ in the most mature specimens with [[/insertion]] an irregularly bulging cordon round their middle, so as to resemble somewhat a summer squash. Length .08 - .12 & diameter a little less except in the mature specms. when it is a little [[covered by note]] Attached by a point only to under side of [[covered by note]]  A small terminal nipple surrounded by an [[covered by note]] Larva like [[underline]] [[?]] [[/underline]], but arms [[image]] diverge slightly.

Gall [[underline]] celtidos mamma [[/underline]] (Psylladous.) A large [[insertion]] ^ nipple-like [[/insertion]] pale [[insertion]] ^ opaque [[/insertion]] green [[insertion]] ^ glabrous [[/insertion]] hard but somewhat fleshy gall growing from the under side of the leaf, [[insertion]] ^ & attached by its entire base [[/insertion]] often 12 or 15 in number. Length .20 - .33 inch, & diameter about .20. A deep hollow [[insertion]]  ^ corresponding in size [[/insertion]] on upper side of leaf with [[strikethrough]] aureole & [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] central [[/insertion]] minute nipple occasionally [[?]] confluent [[insertion]] sub [[/insertion]] cylindrical, tip rounded & generally a lateral [[insertion]] ^ medial [[/insertion]] construction. On cutting into it it is found to be composed of a [[insertion]] ^ rather hard [[/insertion]] fleshy cap surmounting the hard [[insertion]] ^ woody [[strikethrough]] semiglobular [[/strikethrough]] arched or semiglobular [[/insertion]] base of the gall, like a large inverted teacup surmounting a small inverted tea-saucer; & in the space between the "saucer" & the "cup" lives the larva.
The above 3 often occur on the same leaf, but are very distinct, & each may be recognized at a glance.
