had been destroyed ranged from 60 to 100 per cent, the average being 

 78 per cent by the beetle larvse and 4.5 per cent by all other enemies. 

 In these areas the trees had been stripped early in the season and 

 the beetle larva had become full grown and gone into the ground to 

 pupate before the examination was made. 



In the remaining 24 areas examined frigidum larvse ranging from 

 newly hatched to nearly full fed were found. In one case 21 larvae 

 were discovered feeding on pupa. At this time the number of pupas 

 that had been killed by the larva of frigidnm varied from 11.7 per 

 cent to 80.2 per cent, the average being 54 per cent of the total 

 number of pupa. Where the lower percentages were found a con- 

 siderable number of small frigidum larva were present. The follow- 

 ing table has been compiled from the data secured :
