The proportion of squares punctured by the end of the first month 

 after squares have commenced to form has been found to range from 

 2.5 to 10 per cent. It is usuall}^ not over 5 per cent, and an average 

 proportion of 3 per cent would be more nearly correct. Thus, on the 

 Brazos River, July 13, 1904, but 8 per cent of the squares were punc-

 tured and on June 29 but 1.1 per cent. In 1903 at the College not
