A few records were obtained of the time spent in the several 

 stages, but none of these are complete. The insects died in the cages, 

 in spite of the care given them. From these few notes it was found 

 that 2 to 3 days were spent in stage I ; 2 to 4 days in stage II ; 2 to 3 

 days in stage III; 5 days (one record) in stage IV. No records for 

 stage V were obtained. December 16, 1913.
