   vine-growing

  Transcaucasia,

  the 
  losses

  of 
  vintage 
  stations,

  The 
  moth, 
  Tinea 
  tedella, 
  CI., 
  is 
  proving 
  harmful 
  to 
  young 
  spruce 
  

   trees 
  in 
  Haylehead 
  Woods, 
  near 
  Aberdeen. 
  The 
  larvae 
  eats 
  into 
  the 
  

   needles 
  at 
  the 
  tips 
  of 
  the 
  side-shoots 
  and 
  sometimes 
  spins 
  them 
  together.

  The 
  author 
  records 
  the 
  finding 
  of 
  numbers 
  of 
  specimens 
  of 
  Coccinella 
  

   quinquepunctata, 
  L., 
  in 
  the 
  autumn 
  of 
  1912 
  along 
  the 
  Samland 
  Coast, 
  

   and 
  also 
  on 
  the 
  banks 
  of 
  the 
  Spiedingsee. 
  The 
  reason 
  for 
  the 
  presence 
  

   of 
  the 
  beetles 
  in 
  such 
  large 
  numbers 
  in 
  these 
  situations 
  is 
  quite 
  un- 
  

   accountable, 
  as 
  weather 
  conditions 
  during 
  the 
  summer 
  had 
  been, 
  so 
  

   far 
  as 
  can 
  be 
  judged, 
  unfavourable 
  to 
  insect 
  life, 
  and 
  there 
  was 
  no 
  

   evidence 
  of 
  a 
  particularly 
  abundant 
  food 
  supply. 
  The 
  author 
  refers 
  

   to 
  Prof. 
  Werner's 
  records 
  of 
  the 
  finding 
  of 
  similar

  A 
  review 
  of 
  the 
  hterature 
  leads 
  the 
  author 
  to 
  the 
  conclusion 
  that 
  

   the 
  larva 
  of 
  T. 
  forskaleana 
  has 
  been 
  confounded 
  with 
  that 
  of 
  T. 
  berg- 
  

   manniana, 
  probably 
  owing 
  to 
  a 
  misinterpretation 
  of 
  a 
  statement 
  of 
  

   Boisduval. 
  Of 
  all 
  authors 
  dealing 
  with 
  this 
  species 
  only 
  Wilkinson 
  

   and 
  Wallengren 
  give 
  a 
  correct 
  description 
  of 
  it, 
  all 
  the 
  others 
  quote 
  

   the 
  incorrect 
  description 
  of 
  Bouche. 
  From 
  this 
  mistake 
  arose 
  the 
  

   statement 
  thsit 
  forskaleana 
  attacks 
  roses, 
  which 
  the 
  author 
  is 
  inchned 
  

   to 
  disregard, 
  as 
  no 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  authors 
  who 
  give 
  this 
  food-plant 
  appears 
  

   to 
  have 
  a 
  real 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  larva. 
  The 
  food-plant 
  is 
  the 
  maple, 
  

   the 
  leaves 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  rolled 
  by 
  the 
  larva. 
  The 
  hfe-history 
  takes, 
  

   in 
  the 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  Stockholm, 
  the 
  following 
  course. 
  The 
  larvae 
  

   were 
  observed 
  in 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  May, 
  pupated 
  the 
  10th 
  of 
  June, 
  the 
  first 
  

   moths 
  appearing 
  the 
  8th 
  of 
  July 
  ; 
  there 
  is 
  only 
  one 
  generation 
  a 
  year, 
  

   the 
  eggs, 
  laid 
  probably 
  on 
  the 
  stalks 
  or 
  the 
  keys, 
  hatching 
  in 
  the 
  begin- 
  

   ning 
  of 
  August, 
  the 
  larvae 
  feeding 
  on 
  the 
  keys 
  until 
  autumn, 
  when 
  

   they 
  hibernate 
  somewhere 
  until 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  May 
  of 
  the 
  following 
  

   year, 
  when 
  they 
  again 
  curl 
  the 
  leaves. 
  

  

  This 
  procedure 
  is 
  described 
  and 
  a 
  detailed 
  description 
  is 
  given 
  of 
  

   the 
  larva, 
  the 
  pupa 
  and 
  the 
  mode 
  of 
  pupation, 
  with 
  numerous 
  figures.
