LENGTH OF TIME SPENT IN SOIL. 
Considerable information has been obtained on the length of time 
spent by the curculio after entering the soil for pupation until the 
emergence of the beetle. As in the case of the statistics showing the 
length of time occupied in the egg and larval stages in the fruit, the 
present data have been obtained, often from miscellaneous collections 
of infested fruit, and at irregular intervals. Records are also given 
from collections where the complementary data were not obtained, 
or during another season.
