TIME OF EMERGENCE OF MOTHS OF THE FIRST BROOD. 



The earliest moth of the first brood emerged July 28 (Table II). 

 It will be noted from the curve of figure 2 that the maximum of 

 emergence occurred unusually early — August 3. Throughout the 

 month of August there was a constant and large emergence. The 



Fig. 2. — Emergence curve of first-brood moths in 1909, at Douglas, Mich. (Original.) 



great irregularity of the curve in figure 2 is largely due to the fact 

 that the banded trees from which the rearing material was obtained 

 were only examined once a week. However, certain of the irregu- 

 larities of the curve are due to climatic influences.
