The notorious “ Codling Moth,” which is a most important pest of apples 
in Kurope, America, Australia, and New Zealand, has been recorded from 
Kashmir (Dras Ladak, 7,000 feet)(#), but does not appear to be known 
in any of the apple-growing tracts in India. An unidentified Tortricid larva, 
found boring into apple fruits in Kumaon in August 1918, is certainly not 
this species. [See page 197, postea.|
