" Fortunately for us in Victoria, there is, I believe, no authentic record of the presence of any of the bud- destroying phytopti, which, according to all accounts, are much more to be dreaded than those attacking the leaves only. So far as can be ascertained, as quoted by Murray, there are four species named and described as living in buds, and 46 that prey upon leaves, these latter insects being again subdivided into various genera, and as in tetranycJms, or Red Spider, these bear the generic... names of the various plants on which they feed, as pruni, for the plum ; mali, for the apple ; vitis, for the vine, and so on. With regard to the life-history of these singular little animals, Mr. Crawford gives it as his opinion, "That there are two ways in which the Mite survives the winter when all the leaves are shed; first, by hybernating among the hairs of and in the leaf-bud, and secondly, by forming colonies under the tender bark of the last year's growth, as I have found them in both situations.
