Note e — BOOK VIII.

There are many of the Phalænæ and Ichneumon-Fly Tribes, that have their Generation on the Leaves or other Parts of Trees and Shrubs, too many to be here reckoned up. The Oak hath many very beautiful Phalænæ, bred in its convolved Leaves, white, green, yellow, brown spotted prettily, and neatly dappled, and many more besides; and its Buds afford a Place for Cases, and Balls of various Sorts, as shall be shewn hereafter; its Leaves expanded, minister to the Germination of globular, and other sphæroidal Balls, and flat Thecæ, some like Hats, some like Buttons excavated in the Middle, and divers others such like Repositories, all belonging to the Ichneumon-Fly Kind. And not only the Oak, but the Maple also, the White-Thorn, the Briar, Privet, and indeed almost every Tree and Shrub.
