Eriophyes Sp.
Chadwick's No. 84

Host Populus grandidentata Michx.

A deep dimple gall with the convex part on the upper surface of the leaf. The gall is light green above, with the contents of the depression dark red.

The cells produced by the palisade parenchyma can be distinguished in this case from those arising from the spongy parenchyma. The former are almost square in outline and placed in two very regular rows immediately below the upper epidermis, and parallel with it. This tissue can be seen in Fig. 2. The latter constitute a tissue made up of cells which are circular to elliptical in outline. These cells are much smaller than those produced by the palisade layer. The outgrowths from the lower epidermis described in various ways as trichomes, granules, etc., are in reality produced by a complicated folding, in which only the lower epidermis and the spongy parenchyma participate, as shown in Fig. 2.

A cross section of the gall shows a number of vascular strands, but in my opinion the gall-producing stimulus only enlarges the veins that are already present in the normal leaf; it does not originate a special vascular system for the gall.

Eriophyes Sp.
Chadwick's No. 88.

Chadwick considers this form, first described by Jarvis, the same as his No. 87. But the latter is characterized by a depression on the under side of the leaf, the former by an elevation, so that the two are constantly distinct.

Host Populus tremuloides Michx.

A dimple gall with the elevation on the under surface of the leaf. The elevation is a lighter green than the surrounding normal leaf and the folds that occupy the concavity are greenish-yellow or reddish in colour.

In dealing with the anatomical structure it is to be noted that the spongy parenchyma has in this case remained normal. The folds are produced in the same manner as in the preceding species, except that in this form it is the upper epidermis that undergoes the folding process. The nature of this folding can be seen in Fig. 1.
