There are in the collection four species which I take to be true gall- flies, but from lack of personal knowledge, I have left them undescribed. A single specimen, however, which appears to represent a leaf gall, is I think worthy of specific record. Andricus myricae, sp. nov. (Fig. 7.) Gall regularly elliptic when seen from above, 6 mm. long and mm. wide, placed next to the midrib of a leaf of either Myrica obscura Lx. or Myrica drymeja (Lx.) Knowlton (), at a point where the leaf is about 13 mm. broad. Curiously enough Lesquereux has figured a leaf of M. fallax with gall-like excrescences upon it similar to this one in his Cretaceous and Tertiary Flora ('83, pi. XXXII, fig. 14)..
