Time of maturity of transforming larve.—From apples collected in an 
orchard July 8 the first larvee emerged July 10, while from banded 
trees larve were obtained three days later. In the rearing cages 
the last transforming larva left the fruit August 14. (See Tables 
XXII and XXXIII, and fig. 22.) 
Time of maturity of wintering larve.—Of the band record material of 
1909 two larve, which had been collected July 19, did not transform 
with the rest of the brood, but remained in the larval stage and 
~ wintered. The second-brood larve first appear about September 10. 
(See fig. 22.) On examining the results of the band records, as pre- 
sented in figure 21, it will be noted that the greater number of larve 
belonged to the first brood, and that the period of maturation of 
these larve extended from early July to the close of September, or 
perhaps even to the early part of October. 
Percentages of transforming and of wintering larve of the first brood.— 
In Table XVII is given a summary of breeding experiments, showing 
the comparative number of transforming and wintering larve of the 
first brood. From these observations it will be found that in number 
the wintering larve exceeded the transforming larve about two and 
one-half times. These results agree closely with those obtained from 
the band material, which is a better test of the relative occurrence 
of larvee in the field. (See Table XXXIV.) Of the first brood 23.46 
per cent of the larve transformed and 76.54 per cent wintered. 
Considering the two parallel records of both cage-reared larvee, the 
first brood consisted thus of one-third of transforming larvee and 
two-thirds of wintering larve.
