APPENDIX II ANSWERS TO CIRCULAR. 451 



Have hunted for them after frost, but found none. [C. F. Sherriod, Lowndes. 



No. [C. Welch, Coviugtou. 



Yes ; but I am not certain later than December. One season I supposed from ap- 

 pearances that I had some around in January, February, and March ; but when warm 

 weather came they manifested no signs of vitality, and on close inspection I found 

 them dead. They may have perished in January tor aught I know. How long after 

 December they survived I am unable to state. [D. L. Phares, Wilkinson. 



Know nothing as to the winter quarters of this insect. [John C. Russel, Madison. 



I have found hundreds of chrysalides while ginning cotton as late as January, still 

 living. [J. Culbertson, Rankin. 



Found them all dead this year after the first killing frost. [W. Spillman, Clark. 



I have known them to hatch out of chrysalis after frost, but they have never re- 

 mained but a few days after frost; they soon die, but doubtless deposit their eggs 

 before they die, and the eggs hatch the next year. [George V. Webb, Amite. 



At the close of last season I had a number of the cotton-worms in chrysalis state, 

 but they were destroyed by the severe freeze about Christmas. [G. W. Smith- Vauiz, 

 Madison. 



NORTH CAROLINA. 



No. [F. I. Smith, Halifax. 



SOUTH CAROLINA. 



Never. [James W. Grace, Colleton. 



We have never known, nor have I heard of any one else ever finding the chrysalis 

 after frosts or during the winter. [James C. Brown, Barnwell. 



TENNESSEE. 



I have never known the chrysalis to survive even a slight frost, frosts so light as to 

 have been unfelt by any except rarely sensitive plants. [A. W. Hunt, M. D., Perry. 



TEXAS. 



They in some way become buried under the soil, and are preserved throughout the 

 winter. Many of them are plowed up in the winter, and are in a sound state ; believe 

 they can be kept safely in the seed. Could not the chrysalis have beeu brought here 

 in 1834, in the boat- load of seed that came that year from New Orleans ? [P. S. Clarke, 

 Waller. 



I have never found a sound or perfect living chrysalis after a severe frost, with cold 

 enough to form ice. [ J. M. Glasco, Upshur. 



I do not think tbey survive a freeze in a chrysalis state. I do not think they are to 

 be found in a healthy condition in winter. I am inclined to the opinion that the moth 

 is migratory ; for instance, some seasons we failed to have the worm for more than one 

 year in succession ; then again it was upon us. The question, Where has it been all 

 the while, asleep for two or more years ? Hardly. [O. H. P. Garrett, Washington. 



Not after a severe frost. [H. J. H. Brensing, Bowie. 



I have not. [P. S. Watts, Hardin. 



No. [R. Wipprecht, Comal. 



I have found the chrysalides in apparently healthy condition during winter in seed 

 cotton, where it had gotten by picking, and in hay. [A. Schroeter, Burnet. 



Yes. [S. B. Tackaberry, Polk. 



Never. [W. Barnes, Cherokee. 



They will, and do survive the frost in the ground, and have been found in winter 

 occasionally. [ J. H. Krancher, Austin. 



Never. [C. B. Richardson, Rusk. 



I think 1 have. [S. Harbert, Colorado. 



No, never. [J. W. Jackson, Titus. 



Not of the cotton-miller ; they always come out, and thousands die if the cotton is 

 leafless. [Natt. Holman, Fayette. 



QUESTION 5/. Have you ever found the moth hibernating or flying during mild winter 

 weather f 



ALABAMA. 



Often. [P. T. Graves, Lowndes. 



Yes ; have found them in trash, under old logs and brush. [John D. Johnston, 

 Sumter. 



I never have seen a moth here in winter at anv time. [J. N. Gilmore, Sumter. 



I never did. [I. F. Culver, Bullock. 



Often in winter when the sun shines warm the moth flies out. [J. S. Hausberger, 

 Bibb.
