A roundish mass, [[strikethrough]] 2[[/strikethrough]] 1 1/4 - 2 1/2 inches in diameter, of [[insert]]  [[strikethrough]] 40 or [[/strikethrough]] ^10 - 50 [[/insertion]] opaque, wooly-pubescent, fusiform or sometimes flattish-oval [[insertion]] ^ green [[/insertion]] galls, each .50 - .75 inch long, springing from a common centre at the place for a [[?]] [[strikethrough]] & [[/strikethrough]] [[insertion]] ^ the whole [[/insertion]] evidently a deformation of a bud, each gall representing a leaf. Occasionally an undeformed leaf with its peduncle puts forth from the common centre, bearing at the junction of peduncle with leaf a couple of galls. Each gall monothal. & cecid. See last year.

July 26) [[underline]] Fungus aceris crumena. [[/underline]] On sugar-maple. A pale green elongate hollow fusiform fungus, 1 - 26 on upper face of leaf, .10 - .25 long, & 7 [[strikethrough]] 8 [[/strikethrough]] or 8 times as long as wide, a slight depression slightly discolored on under side of leaf opposite to each. Inside roughly granulated. Tip of some blackish, & a few already blackish [[insertion]] ^ or reddish brown [[/insertion]] apparently withering, but not burst open. very abundant & not local.

X [[underline[[ [[strikethrough]] Fungus [[/strikethrough]] Gall Tilia loculus [[/underline]].

Out of 10 opened only 2 contained a larva as in Aceris loc., but one only in each. [All the above fungus examd. with Stanhope lens carefully.] On upper face of leaf,  [[strikethrough]] 4 [[/strikethough]] [[insertion]] ^ 1 - 8 [[/insertion]] on a leaf, [[insertion]] ^ sometimes on lower face [[/insertion]] not very abundant.

On twig a sessile oval sub-scabrous potato-like gall, partly grass-green, partly brown-scabrous, .65 long or less, & [[insertion]] ^ about [[/insertion]] .40 in diameter . Inside white, fleshy, no larvae or cells.
