LIFE HISTORY OF CODLING MOTH IN PECOS VALLEY, N. MEX. 81 



RESULTS AT ROSWELL. 



Banded trees for tlie experiments at Roswell were selected about 

 May 15, although no collections are recorded until May 20. Through 

 the kindness of a number of orchard owners, trees for bandmg were 

 obtained as follows: Five trees on the farm of Capt. W. C. Reid, 5 

 belonging to j\lr. H. J. Hagerman; 4 in the orchard of Mr. R. C. 

 Horner; and 3 in an orchard owned by Mr. Robert Beers. Careful 

 collections were made from the bands on these trees at intervals of 

 thi'ee days from May 20 until November 7, and an accurate record 

 kept of the larvae found. By consulting the figures in Table LIX 

 it will be noted that the maximum number of first-brood larvae 

 occurring in the field is found to be on May 29, when 833 larvae were

coUcctod from the 17 banded trees. Of this number, 129 proved to 

 be wintering larvae while 654 transformed and emerged as moths. 



A second maximum is found to occur July 16, when 1,674 larvae 

 were collected from the bands. Of this number 339 proved to be 

 wintering larvae, and 1,318 transformed the same season. 



The gn^utcst number of third-})rood larvae collected on a specified 

 date of.ctirred September <S, when 1,073 are recorded. The iminber 

 of larvae wintering at this time in the season is much greater, a total 

 of 1,062 being found, while only 3 larvae transformed and emerged 

 tlu; same S(!ason. Be(;ause ol' tlui overla])ping of the broods of larva) 

 lat(; in the season, this condition renders it impossible to determine 

 from these data wIkm) fourth-])rood larvae occurred in greatest num- 

 bers in the field. (See fig. 1 1.)
