Abstract (2. Language): 
There are hundreds of unique galls caused by insects and mites. They are formed on a variety of plants and in a broad range of sizes, shapes, colors and textures. Galls may be found on leaves, stems, twigs, branches, trunks and roots. Some galls are common and abundant and easily noticed. Others are rare or less conspicuous.This paper reports the quantitative estimation of some metabolites in leaf galls of Carya. The parameters assayed were Total sugars and Proteins. Total sugar content is less and protein content is more in Carny leaf galls when compared to the Pongamiapinnata leaf galls.
