The gall-gnats among the true flies (Diptera) also produce a large variety of malforma- tions, of which the cone-like galls resulting from de- formed buds of the willow and the goldenrod are best known. Plant lice (Aphidae) are responsible for the large smooth red galls on the petiole of sumachs, and for the flattish serrated galls on elm leaves. The fusi-. 2484. Dahlia leaf stratine the branching i form galls on stem of goldenrod and asters is caused by the larva of a moth. In addition to true insects, the raites produce almost as great a variety of galls, pouch- galls and leaf-rolling being especially conspicuous. The cause of these deformities is sometimes the chemical stimulus produced by the injection of substances ("poisons") at the time of egg-laying by the parent, in which case the gall develops around the egg; sometimes it is the mechanical stimulus due to movements of the TERATOLOGY larva, together with the chemical stimulus from its va- rious excretions, in which case the gall develops after the hatching of the egg. chi„g li-av.
