Página 2 - Continuing his observations, especially during the present summer, he has been able to trace the life-history of those species producing galls on our own elms, and to show that they all agree in this respect, and that the impregnated egg produced by the female is consigned to the sheltered portions of the trunk of the tree, and there hibernates — the issue from it being the stem-mother which founds the gall-inhabiting colony the ensuing spring.
