Comprehensive records were obtained at Siloam Springs, Ark., 
during the season of 1908 (see Table IX) . Curculios were jarred from 
plum trees April 17 and the same day 30 pairs were selected and sepa- 
rately confined in jars. The beetles were given fresh plums daily as 
long as plums were available, after which apples were used. Obser- 
vations were made daily.
