Galleon
a name given by the Spaniards to a very large kind of a vessel, with three masts and three or four decks, such as those used by them in their commerce with South America, to transport the precious metals. They were large clumsy, square-sterned vessels that could make only slow progress under the most favorable conditions.
GALLICAN CHURCH nergus and Aulax are important genera; while Ibalia, Figites, Eucoila, and the minute species of Allotria are in their youth parasitic on other insects, such as flies and plant-lice. Among the common gall wasps Cynips quercusfolii makes the cherry-galls of oak leaves; C. tinctoria produces the well-known inkgall of the Levantine oak; Rhodites rosæ forms the curious and familiar Bedeguar on wild roses.
