[Galls on Leaves of Galium sp. — Dr. Masters showed from Baron von Mueller some curious cylindrical larva cases, or galls, on the leaves of an Australian species of Galium, or Asperula. The leaves were replaced by cylindrical, blackish, thick-walled tubes covered with stout hooked bristles, the unaffected leaves being all but destitute of such appendage. The specimen was referred to Mr. MacLachlan.]
