Tcnnessce .. H. G. Butler (April 13): A single oriental fruit 710th, the 
first, emerged from the insectary stock at Harriman today. 
Buroa of ISitoTiology Nev.s Letter, No. 214 (February): It vras 
found that an average of 1 larva could "be found on each peach 
mummy. This winter similar examinations have "been made * * * 
end it has been found that larvre are practically absent from 
peach mummies. It is thought that -possibly the Ions-continued 
warm weather last fall remitted the immature larvae to com- 
plete their feeding and move to better hibernation quarters. 
PEACH T.7IG BOICH (Anarsia lineatella Zell.) 
California F. H. TTymore (March 29): The peach twig borer is beginning 
to feed on the new shoots of -peach, almond, etc., in the 
Sac ramento Vail ey . 
FLU..! CURCULIO ( Conotrachelus nenuphar Hbst.) 
Delaware L. A. Stearns (Aoril 21): The first curculio emerged from 
hibernation on April 20. 
Virginia '.7. J. Schoene (April 23): Tv~o adults were taken on April 
6 near Greenwood, but subsequent jarring in that section and 
in Augusta Count/ failed to show the presence of the plum 
curculio during the next ten days. Adults were taken in the 
Roanoke district on April 21; and were found in Blecksburg on 
April 23. 
Georgia 0. I. Snapp (April 5): The first adult of the season was 
captured today after jarring many peach trees adjoining wood- 
lands at Fort Valley. Less then 5 per cent of the buds have 
opened on the first-blooming variety of peach. The other 
varieties are still dormant. The curculio s begin to appear 
from hibernation when the first buds open. They are very 
late leaving hibernation this year. Likewise the peach trees 
are blooming much 1-ter than usual. This is the latest ap- 
pearance of adults fr^m hibernation in 12 years of records, 
and ordinarily v, e would predict only one generation; however, 
since the peach trees "re correspondingly late blooming this 
year, we have no certain basis for a prediction as to the 
number of broods of larvae to expect. (April 7): Adults are 
beginning to leave hibernation in numbers. As many as 10 
were captured from a single tree in the first row of a peach 
orchard adjoining woodland. They have not yet passed the 
second row of those orchards which are partly in bloom. Some 
orchards are still dormant and in these the adults have not 
yet appeared. (April 20"): The a.ppcarance of adults from hi- 
bernation has been light to date, and indications point to a 
light source of infestation for the 1932 season. Although 
some varieties of peaches are in full bloom and the weather 
sufficiently warm to cause emergence from hibernation, very
