Fortunately for the gardener, who hates thistles, even though he should be a Scotchman, as is so often the case with skilled gardeners, the larva of the Cleonus feeds on the juices of the plant at the expense of its life, so that the thistle dies just before the seed is developed, and a further extension of the plant is thereby prevented.

Theke are also gall-making insects among the Diptera. Such, for example, is the Thistle-gall Fly (Jlrophora Gardui), which produces large and hard woody galls upon the thistle, as well as several species of the larger genus Tephritis, some species of which live in the parts of fructification of several flowers, the common dandelion being infested by LEAF MIXEnS AXD ROLLERS. We may now describe, at fuller length than has hitherto been done, another group of insects, which live between the mem- branes of leaves, and which belong to different orders. If the reader will carefully examine the leaves of any rose- tree which grows in the open air, he will certainly remark that many of them are notable for certain curious markings, which look something like the rivers in a map, and which traverse the.
