i This is the sum of the length of life in the fruit and the post-larval stage. Consequently the sum of 

 the two maxima, or 103 days, is theoretical, as the maximum life cycle was only 101.4 days. Similarly 

 the sum of the two minima, or 26 days, is also theoretical. 



WEATHER RECORDS FOR 1909, 1910, AND 1911. 



During the three years that the codling moth has been studied at 

 San Jose, Cal., a comparison of the weather conditions influencing 

 the life-history records has been made. These records have been
