I., August 27, 1875, and died at Wesley Hospital, Chicago, Ill., August 7, 1907. He was graduated from Brown University with A. B. in 1898, was awarded A. M. in 1899 and Ph. D. in 1902. He was an instructor in that institution from 1898 to 1900 and spent nearly a year in research work at the American Museum of Natural History. He was elected Honorary Fellow in Biology at Clark University in 1902 and was immediately appointed Instructor in Biology in the Collegiate Department, being promoted to Assistant Professor in 1906. “Dr. Thompson was elected to Sigma Xi in 1900 and to membership in the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Boston Society of Natural History in 1902. . ) Dr. Thompson, during his connection with Clark University, mounted a beautiful set of Atlantic Coast Crustacea, restoring the colors by hand painting, and in collaboration with his friend, Dr. Harvey N. Davis, Brown, ’01, made a large collection of New England Insecta known as the Thompson-Davis Entomological Collection and deposited with Clark University. Other lines of activity are indicated by the following list of published papers: The Breeding Habits of Animals at Woods Hole during the Month of September, 1898. Science, N.S., Vol. ix (1899), pp. 581-583. A New Isopod Parasite on the Hermit Crab.

Unfortunately only a portion of this investigation was completed at the time of his death. 1Most of this list is from Clark College Record, Vol. 2, No. 4, page 92, 1907. 4 PREFACE The first part, a catalogue of the gall-making Cynipide, is published practically as he left it. The second part, a supplemental catalogue of gall-producing organisms, was assembled from the orig- inal notes by Dr. Thompson’s father, the late S. Millett Thompson, who is also responsible for the selection and grouping of the illustrations on the plates. The work as planned by Dr. Thomp- son was to be a catalogue and handbook; that relating to the New England forms being based largely upon original studies. The editor has confined himself to the elimination of a few obvious errors and has endeavored to reproduce the work substantially as projected by its author. Ref- erences to plates have been inserted throughout the text, descriptions of the plates written and and the correct synonymy indicated wherever it seemed advisable or necessary. The original names used in the manuscript have been allowed to remain and where more recent terms are supplied or determinations made. by the editor, such matter invariably appears in smaller (8 point) type. Dr. Thompson’s collection of galls is deposited with Clark University. CATALOGUE OF GALL-MAKING CYNIPIDA OF NORTH AMERICA Part I. CLASSIFICATION BY GALLS GALLS ON OAKS (Quercus) I.
