Although special attention was given to the search for plant galls only four were found, their absence being perhaps due to the smoky atmosphere caused by the adjacent collieries. The galls found were due to Gall Midge Dasineura fraxini (= Perrisia fraxini Kieffer), on leaves of Fraxinus excelsior, Gall Midge Rabdophaga marginemtorquens (= Perrisia marginem-torquens Winn.), on Salix viminalis, Cynips quercusfolii (= Dryophanta scutellaris Hartig), on Quercus robur, and Neuroterus tricolor (= Neuroterus fumipennis Hartig), on Q. robur.
