Extent of injury to miscellaneous sorts of plums is indicated in 
Table LXXVIT. Records were made by gathering the specified 
number of fruits here and there from the trees or from the ground. 
It is regretted that similar data are not available from more northern 
localities.

In the above table the figures for injury show merely the number of 
punctures. While most of the fruit punctured would fall, not all of 
it would do so, the fruit more or less outgrowing the injury. The 
average percentage of injury, i. e., 59.10, is therefore perhaps a little 
high. 
The extent to which pears may be punctured is shown for two 
localities in Table LXXYITT. As elsewhere explained, the real injury 
to such pears as Le Conte and Kieffer is small, as the thinning of the 
young fruit is in most cases desirable and the punctures are mostly 
outgrown bv the finit on the trees.
