Length of feeding period, oagged-fruit method. — In Table 32 will be 

 found the feeding period of 106 larvse reared by the bagged-fruit 

 method. 



Owing to the late season, none of the second-brood larvae reared in 

 1920 pupated, hence it is not possible to give any further data for 

 this year.
