In one respect, however, the galls thus formed differ from those of the moun-tain-ash just described, —those of the poplar havingalways an opening left into some part of the cell, andusually in that portion of it which is elongated intoan obtuse beak. From this opening the young, whenarrived at the winged state, make their exit, to form GALL-APHIDES. 393 new colonies; and during their migrations, attractthe attention of the most incurious by the singularityof their appearance.*.
