In the examination of these squares a great number of the non- 

 producing ones were found to have the contents more or less eaten 

 by weevil larvae. These larvae were evidently unable to survive 

 upon this food. Of course the larval mortality is quite high in any 

 breeding series of either grandis or thurberiae regardless of the food, 

 but this is certainty higher than usual. 



IX COTTOX BOLLS. 



The developmental period of the weevil in cotton bolls was studied 

 in the same manner as that just described for cotton squares. The 

 results of this series are given in Table VII.
