Pennsylvania. H. M. Steiner (March 28 ): Populations vary greatly with- 
in Adams' County apple, peach, and cherry orchards, the eggs being 
most numerous in blocks interplan-ted with two of the fruits. Eggs 
scarce on trees that dropped their leaves before mid-October of the 
previous year.

the State. 
PEACH 
PLUM CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nentiphar Hbst.) 
Georgia. 0. I. Snapp (March 19 ) : Mortality of adults in hibernation at 
Port Valley was unusually low last winter, but this was expected, as 
temperatures no lower than 20° P. were recorded during the winter. 
Of 93 S field- reared adults placed in Bermuda, grass and oak leaves 
for hibernation, 485, or 5^.7 percent, survived the winter of 1940- 
4l, and of 435 insectary-reared adults planed in the same kind of 
hibernating materials, 296, or 60 percent, survived the winter. Al- 
though plum and peach trees were jarred daily since March 3» the 
first adult was not taken by jarring until March 17. Adults do not 
appear from' hibernation in numbers until the mean temperature has 
been above 60° P. for several successive days, and no such -period of 
warm weather has occurred. They are late leaving hibernation but' the 
peach trees arc also late in blooming. 
Texas. W. S. McGregor (March 2l): Three adults jarred from 12 plum trees 
in Brazos County.
