Abstract
DURING recent years our knowledge concerning plant colouring matters has rapidly increased, and quite a large number of pigments have been subjected to careful and full investigation. A further interesting contribution to our knowledge in this field of research is contained in a recent paper by Dr. M. Nierenstein, in which he deals with the colouring matter of the “red-pea gall” (Trans. Chem. Soc., 1919, cxv., pp. 1328-32). The galls that were examined occur on the leaves of various British oak-trees when galled by Dryophanta divisa, Adler.
