TIME OF COPULATION. 



Observations of the time of copulation of the codling moth were 

 taken during the seasons of 1915 and 1916. (See PL I, B.) The 

 data for 1916 are more extensive than those for the preceding year. 

 No attempt was made to watch the moths closely at all times, but 

 instead the}' were examined at intervals to note if they had separated. 



In 1915 the following records were secured : 



Moths of the spring brood. — May 30, one pair found in copula 

 at 7 p. m. ; June 8, one at 6.50 a. m. ; June 9, one at 6.45 a. m., and 

 another pair at 7 a. m. 



Moths of the first brood. — The data for moths of this brood are 

 presented in Table LXV.
