FIRST-BROOD MOTHS. 



The first collection of larvae in 1912 was delayed until June 12, 

 tliouo-h as none of those taken under the bands at the time had 

 pupated, the beginning of first-brood moth emergence was not seri- 

 ously affected thereby. In all 639 moths appeared in the rearing 

 cages between June 23 and August 28. (See Table VII.)

The seasonal appearance of the two broods of moths is given in 

 figui'e 5. 



Work at Greenwood was discontinued m 1913, the transformations 

 of the codling moth being apparently so nearly the same as at Char- 

 lottesville that almost daily observation would be necessary to 

 distinguish any variation at all, and accordmg to the plan of work 

 followed it was impossible to take records oftener than every three 

 or four days.
