Remedial measures which are of vahie have been found to be spray- 
ing with arsenites and banding. Spraying by the use of a gasoline- 
power outfit has proved to be the most effective, such spraying, using 
lime arsonite with soda, having reduced the injur}" in a certain orchard 
which had previously been from 40 to 60 per cent to 10 per cent. 
By the use of proper preventive measures, spraying and banding, 
for a number of years, the injury due to the codling moth can be 
reduced from nearh^ 100 per cent to 5 or 10 per cent in an orchard in 
an}' locality. 
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF MOST OF THE MORE IMPORTANT CONTRIBU- 
TIONS TO THE LITERATURE OF THE CODLING MOTH. . 
The following bibliograph}' down to 1898 is practically a duplicate 
of that published in Professor Slingerland's Bulletin 142, Cornell 
Agricultural Experiment Station, pages 63-69: 
1635. GoEDAERDT. ^Eetamorphosis Naturalis, Vol. I, p. 98, fig. 46. 
Apparently the first published account of the Insect. It seems to have escaped notice 
until 1864, Avhen Werneburg referred to it in his "Beitrage zur Schmetterlingskunde." 
Lister added nothing of importance in his Latin edition of Goedaerdt published in 168-5. 
1728. Frisch. Beschreibung von Allerley Insecten in Teutschland, part 7, pp. 
16-17, PI. X, figs. 1-5. 
Grotesque and yet quite accurate descriptions of moth and larvje; believed it {^referred 
"to -work in unhealthy or injured fruits. No definite data on life history. 
1736. Reaumur. Mem. pour servir a L'Histoire des Insects, Vol. II, pp. 484, 
496-499, pi. 38, figs. 11, 12, and pi. 40, figs. 1-10. 
Good account of work of larva in fruit and in making its cocoon. Two broods indi- 
cated. 
1746. RoESEL. Insecten-Belustigung, Vol. I, part 6, No. 18, pp. o.S-o7, pi. LS, 
figs. 1-5. 
In accuracy of detail and coloring the hand-painted figures equal, if not excel, any 
colored pictures of the insect published since. Good account of original observations 
upon its life history; thought the newly hatche 1 larva sometimes entered the fruit beneath 
the eggshell, and that the worms sometimes left one apple and went to another fresh 
one. One brood indicated. All stages, except the egg, well described. 
1747. Wilkes. The English INIoths and Butterflies, Book I, class 1, p. 5, no. 9, 
pi. 65 (copies of Roesel's figures). 
Probably the first English account; brief compilation from Roesel. Gave to the insect 
its name of " codling moth," from the codling tree, which is also figured. 
1758. LiNNE. Systema Xatura?. Ed. X, p. 538, no. 270. Tinea pomotielld, "Alls 
nebulosis postice macula rubra aurea." 
Original description of the insect when it received its first scientific name. 
1791. Brahm. Insektenkalender, Vol. II, }>. 465. 
Brief account with many earlier references. Common and sometimes destructive in 
orchards; and records its habits in fruit rooms. 
1802. De Tigny. Historic Nat. des Insectes, Vol. IX, p. 256. 
Largely a compilatiim from Reaumur and Roesel. Says eggs are laiil on fruit before 
petals fall. 
1806. Bechsteix and Sc'iiAKFKNHKKc. Xatur. dor Scluid. Forstinsoktcu. Tart 111. 
pp. 753-755. 
Mostly a compilation from Koesel ami Hrahm. 
1818. IltJBNER. Verz. Bekamit. Sihmott, p. 375.
