annual temperature of 70° and a precipitation of 30 inches. At

 condition occurs throughout the entire State. At Calvert the per- 

 centage of infestation of squares on August 28 was oo.G per cent and 

 at Goliad it was 20.9 per cent, and yet the average percentage of 

 parasitism in fallen squares at Calvert was 1.4 per cent and Goliad

 Cuero the percentage of infestation of squares on August 2s was 

 74 per cent and at Victoria it was 32.7 per cent, and the average per- 

 centage of parasitism in hanging squares at Cuero was 19.9 per cent 

 and at Victoria 10.2 per cent. Table XII gives in detail the irregu-
