greatest on oranges, which have been less intensively treated than have the

California. D, F. Barnes and G. H, Kaloostian (Au^gust); Comparison between over- 
wintered larval populations and the spring flight of moths produced by the 
overwintered larvcae made in tv;o vineyards in Tulare County for this year 
and last. Larval population v;as reduced b^'’ about 90 percent in 1940, while 
the spring flight was reduced by 68 percent, indicating larger survival of 
overwintered larvae this v/inter than last. Lack of parasitization v;as im- 
portant factor in this survival, Parasitization among overwintered larvae 
was 10,7 percent in 1939 , us compared with 3*4 percent in 1940 , Most
