2 Hyperaspis binotata larva emerged June 24; scale dropped June 25. 



3 Loose and removed for dissection July 8. 

 * Loose and removed for dissection July 6. 



The weather was abnormal during the emergence period of 1912. 

 It was very cold, with a daily maximum below 70° F. from June 13 

 to 15, inclusive. June 19 was rainy and cold, with the daily maxi- 

 mum below 60° F, The daily maximum did not go above 70° until 

 June 22, when it rained. From June 24 to 28, inclusive, the weather 

 was favorable, except for local showers on June 25 and 27. June 29 

 and 30 were unfavorable, due to a cold rain and no sun. July 5 also 

 was a rainy day. The only favorable weather was from July 6 to 11, 

 inclusive, but it was too late to have an appreciable effect. 



The dotted curve on the following emergence graph, figure 2, 

 shows clearly the effect of these weather conditions. The soUd line 

 shows the curve as it would probably be in favorable weather. 



During 1913 a few larvae appeared in the brood chambers at Mont 

 Alto, Pa., on June 11. The larvae were quite abundant in the brood 

 chambers on June 12, and emergence started June 13. Thus the 

 interval between first birth and first emergence was 2 days. The 

 emergence from the isolated scales also started June 13 and the 

 maximum daily emergence was June 18. Fifty per cent and the 75
