June  9. Populicaulis galls on cottonwood  now 1/3 grown--each contains a sample subglobular very large mother-louse & many small larva. No eggs. Globular bodies of very various sizes among them, looking like eggs, but dissolve into sap on touching them with pencil. Ant. Mother louse 3-jointed. Tarsi apparently 2-jointed under Stanhope, 2 very distinct irregularly robust claws. Opened 12 galls. One mother-louse only in each.

Found  no [[strikethrough]] moving [[/strikethrough]] larva ^ [[insertion]] or white eggs [[/insertion]] under scale, but under 2 or 3 one or two [[underlined]] yellowish [[/underlined]] eggs.  Addled? ^ [[insertion]] & stationary larva (2 or 3) under a few scales [[/insertion]] Stationary larva lost ^ [[insertion]] almost [[/insertion]] all appearance of organization, legs with difficulty perceptible on holding up to light; motionless. ^ [[insertion]] no beak visible [[/insertion]] Old scales full of [[?]] shells of hatched eggs. White appearance of larvae caused by pruinoseness, which being removed by a wet pencil, they are ^ [[insertion]] pale [[/insertion]] yellow. May be detached from bark by a wet pencil. Should not have supposed them living animals, but for having seen them move &c on June 4. They were also motionless June 10, when I examined dozens. Thus in [[underlined]] 6 [[/underlined]] days this real change takes place.

Besides pruinoseness, threads of hair-like cottony ^[[insertion]] floss [[/insertion]] irregularly attached to larva.  The larvae may now be easily rubbed off with finger or with a hard brush.
