In the case of wild plums the tendency, early in the season when 
the fruit is small, to oviposit on the apex of the fruit is very 
marked. Thus to April 30, 55.8 per cent of all punctures were there 
located. After this date, by which time the fruit had become of 
some size, the egg punctures were to be found more often on the 
basal third. For the period of observations April 9 to June 11 the 
majority of feeding punctures was also found on the basal third. 
The distribution for the season of the totals is indicated in the table 
(Table LI).
