  What 
  proportion 
  of 
  the 
  eggs 
  hatched 
  ? 
  

  

  Out 
  of 
  219 
  eggs, 
  only 
  62 
  hatched. 
  They 
  were 
  all 
  males. 
  Parthen- 
  Mr. 
  Husain. 
  

   ogenesis 
  is 
  common 
  in 
  this 
  species 
  and 
  always 
  produces 
  males. 
  

  

  To 
  obtain 
  the 
  parasites 
  more 
  easily, 
  at 
  Pusa 
  we 
  tried 
  to 
  discover 
  Mr. 
  Misra. 
  

   alternative 
  hosts. 
  We 
  found 
  a 
  number 
  on 
  lac 
  insects 
  and 
  different 
  

   caterpillars. 
  What 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  same 
  species 
  is 
  also 
  parasitic 
  

   on 
  the 
  Pink 
  Bollworm, 
  but 
  the 
  grub 
  of 
  the 
  parasite 
  is 
  much 
  affected 
  

   by 
  mites. 
  Our 
  observations 
  here 
  agree 
  with 
  Mr. 
  Husain's. 
  I 
  have 
  

   seen 
  the 
  parasite 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  the 
  hole 
  in 
  the 
  boll 
  made 
  by 
  the 
  cater- 
  

   pillar 
  ovipositing 
  at 
  the 
  tunnel 
  when 
  it 
  could 
  not 
  reach 
  the 
  caterpillar, 
  

   so 
  that 
  when 
  the 
  caterpillar 
  came 
  out, 
  the 
  eggs 
  stuck 
  on 
  to 
  it, 
  and 
  hatched, 
  

   and 
  we 
  reared 
  adults 
  from 
  them. 
  The 
  proportion 
  of 
  parasitization 
  is 
  

   very 
  low 
  here. 
  We 
  have 
  also 
  raised 
  a 
  hyperparasite. 
  

  

  Do 
  you 
  think 
  the 
  hatching 
  of 
  the 
  eggs 
  of 
  the 
  parasite 
  is 
  correlated 
  Mr. 
  Fletcher, 
  

   with 
  light 
  or 
  heat 
  ? 
  What 
  percentage 
  of 
  parasitized 
  larvae 
  occur 
  in 
  the 
  

   field? 
  

  

  Hatching 
  is 
  probably 
  correlated 
  with 
  temperature. 
  We 
  are 
  now 
  Mr, 
  Husain. 
  

   working 
  out 
  the 
  parasitization 
  percentage.
