Second generation.—The first moths of the first generation were 
_ liberated in cage No. 2 to rear the first individuals of the second genera 
tion. 
Moths were liberated in cage No. 2, as follows:

Eggs were found July 11 and young larve July 17. Daily observa- 
- tions ceased before larve began to leave the fruit in this cage. 
Third generation.—The first eggs probably were laid about August 
16 and hatched about August 22. 
BAND COLLECTIONS 
Hibernating generation, 1916-1917,—Of the 2687 adults of the hiber- 
nating generation emerging in 1917, 1258 were males and 1429 were fe- 
males (Table 36). The average date of the emergence of the males was 
May 25, of the females May 27, and of the entire brood May 26. This was 
five days after the date of the maximum emergence. There was practi- 
cally no difference between the dates of emergence of moths from larve 
which left the fruit in August and the emergence of those from larve 
__ which left the fruit later. 
Collections made in 1917 (see Table 37)—The first mature larvee 
__were taken under bands at Springfield only two days later than at Olney. 
The second generation of larve began to leave the fruit at Olney between 
July 23 and July 30, but, unfortunately, there was a period of seven days 
here between the records, and the exact date can not be accurately deter- 
mined. The bands at Springfield were torn from the trees some time be- 
_ tween August 4 and August 12 by some one unknown, and hence the date 
when the second generation began to leave the fruit at Springfield is also 
uncertain. 
‘The falling off in the number of larve taken at Springfield after 
October 6 was due largely to the fact that the apples were picked from 
half of the trees soon after that date. 
Complete records of pupation, and the emergence of moths from 
band material were not preserved. At Ozark the first larva left the 
‘apples June 18 and the first moth emerged July 1. At Olney the first 
larve left the fruit June 23, and pupated June 26, the first moths emerg- 
ing July 7. At Springfield the first larve left the fruit June 25, and 
pupated June 28, the first moths emerging July 9. (Table 40, p. 277.)
