July 17. [[double underline]] Gall vitifolia? [[/double underline]] Fitch abundant on wild grape NE corner of Jone's field. [[insertion]] ^ vitis cordifolia [[/insertion]]. Contains now, besides mother louse, about equal quantities of [[underline]] eggs [[/underline]] & [[underline]] young larvae [[/underline]] just hatched. Galls now about .10 inch diam., pale green, uneven & nipply with a few hairs. [[insertion]] ^ always on lower side of leaf & very abundant, a white woolly spot on corresponding place on leaf above. [[/insertion]] Mother-louse alive, a [[underline]] coccus, [[/underline]]  with distinctly 1-jd. tarsi: ant. Very short. Body, yellow, round; 03 in diameter. Ant. & legs obfuscated. Beak (at tip) black. Same gall, rather larger, on Clinton grape: rest all the same. No woolly matter among eggs & young larvae.

[[double underline]] Gall Crataegi plica [[/double underline]] - n. sp. & fusiform pale green fold on lower surface of leaves of Crataegus Crus-galli; opening above by a slit, & [[strikethrough]] always [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] ^ generally [[/insertion]] on one of chief side-veins, [[insertion]] ^ or on midrib [[/insertion]] 1 - 7 on a leaf. Length .35 - .50, diam .10 - .15 inch. Walls thin & hard; inside polished. Larva single, cecid [[s ?]]., sanguineous with distinct black breastbone, & now .02 long.

July 24. 2 distinct yellow eggs; on 2 galls no dust.

[[double underline]] Gall carya-semen [[/double underline]] A very minute coccidian [Aphid.] Gall [[insertion]] ^ .06 - .10 in diameter [[/insertion]] on Carya glabra,  subhemisph. above, [[insertion]] ^ flatter below [[/insertion]]  [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[?]] below [[/strikethrough]] with a[[strikethrough]] n [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] ^ nipple like [[/insertion]] opening as in Caryafoliae. Inside [[strikethrough]] numerous [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] ^ 4 or 5 yellowish [[/insertion]] young Aphidians.

July 17. A gall like [[underline]] holotricha [[/underline]] O. S. on [[underline]] upper [[/underline]] side of leaf of Carya alba; larva cecid. with clove breastbone, hyaline whitish with [[insertion]] ^ large discordate [[/insertion]] [[strikethrough]] central [[/strikethrough]] black internal spot

[[double underline]] Ulmi loculus [[/double underline]] A round gall [[strikethrough]] [[insertion]] ^ Epiphytous fungus.[[/insertion]] [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion, in pencil]] Acaridan [[/insertion]] [[image of female symbol]] on leaf of Ned Elm.  Inside not hollow but with [[image: drawing of cross-cut filament]] [[insertion]] ^ stout [[/insertion]] filaments converging from [[image of circle]]. No larva

[[double underline]] Tilia loculus [[/double underline]] A fusiform gall very like that of wild cherry on Basswood leaves either above or below. Inside woolly. No larva.

Baird (Sill. Journ. May 1866 pp. 337-347). proves that "European birds, especially the land species, reach Greenland by way of Iceland, & N.A. [[strikethrough]] by [[/strikethrough]] continent by autumnal movement from Greenland" 

North Am. birds reach Europe (especially England & Heligoland) by direct course from about Latitude 45˚. 

The resultant motion of [[insertion]] ^ surface [[/insertion]] wind between 32˚ & 58˚ in N.A is from the west.

Iceland is in the latitude of the reverse current from east to west.

[[double underline]] Ulmi Crumena [[/double underline]] July 17. [[insertion]] [Epiphytous fungus] [[/insertion]] Found many fusiform galls similar to those on wild cherry on upper face of leaves of White Elm.

[[double underline]] Aceris loculus [[/double underline]] Found many ditto [[image: drawing]] almost 1/4 inch on upper face of leaves of Soft Maple. Epiphytous fungus? [[strikethrough]] No larva [[/strikethrough]]. In two specimens found 10-20 hyaline young cocci? & in one what seemed a much larger one with longish antennae, but lost it.
