Excerpt from British Vegetable Galls: An Introduction to Their Study
My heartiest thanks are due to the Rev. E. N Bloomfield, m.a., f.e.s of Guestling Rectory, near Hastings, for the most valuable help and information which he has given me from the time I commenced the study of vegetable galls.
I also gratefully acknowledge the assistance rendered in many details by my wife and my sons Russell Ernest and Harold Thomas. On several occasions my sons have discovered very fine specimens.
Prof. Dr. Alfred N alepa of Vienna has kindly identified many of the galls caused by mites.
