The first eggs were observed August 19. These hatched August 23. 
The first mature larve left the fruit between September 26 and October 
3, and larve continued to leave the fruit till October 23--the date of the 
last observation. 
Thus the presence of a partial third brood was again demonstrated 
this year at Olney. Larve of the first generation were entering the 
fruit from May 25 to about July 4, and larve of the second generation 
from about July 13 to September 1, and larve of the third generation 
from August 23 to about September 15. 
BAND COLLECTIONS 
Hibernating generation, 1915-1916.—Pupation of the hibernating 
larve collected from bands in 1915 began at Ozark April 10, at Olney, 
Plainview, and Springfield April 13, and closed at Ozark May 31, at 
Olney June 17, and at Springfield May 26. 
Moths began to emerge at Ozark and at Olney May 11 and at Spring- 
field May 10. They continued to emerge at Ozark till June 19, at Olney 
till June 30 (Table 29, foot-note), and at Springfield till June 28. Pupa- 
tion was very irregular on account of changes in the weather conditions. 
The dates when the larve left the fruit had no appreciable influence 
on the time of pupation and emergence the following spring. The aver- 
age date of the emergence of males was May 21, and of the females 
May 23. We should naturally expect that hibernating larve maturing 
in July would develop into moths earlier in the spring than those matur- 
ing later in the season, but this is not the case. The male moths in 
three collections emerged an average of from one to five days later that 
the females; in two collections the average dates of emergence of both 
sexes were the same; and in the other eighteen collections the miales 
emerged an average of from one to seven days earlier than the females. 
For the whole series the average date of emergence of the males was 
2.6 days earlier than that of the females. 
Collections made in 1916.—Band collections were made at Ozark, 
Olney, and Springfield. The results are shown in Table 30. 
The first eggs were observed August 19. These hatched August 23. 
While the first moths of the hibernating generation observed at the 
three places emerged at about the same time, the first larve of the first 
generation matured 10 days later at Olney than at Ozark and 9 days 
later at Springfield than at Olney. The first pupz were observed at 
Olney June 24, and at Springfield July 2; the first adult at Olney 
emerged July 3, and at Springfield July 11 (Table 31). The second and 
third broods of pupz and moths are very clearly indicated in these pupa- 
tion and emergence records. The pupation of the second brood at Olney 
began June 24 and continued till the first or second week in August, at 
which time the beginning of the pupation of the third brood is indicated 
by the increase in the number of pup. The second brood of moths 
began to emerge July 3 and continued to emerge until about the second
