PLUM CURCULIO (Conotrachelus nenurhar Hbst.) 
0. I. Snapp (September 11): Only three adults were captured 
during jarring on three one-half days in a number of peach 
orchards at Fort Valley. This insect has either left peach 
orchards for hibernation or the population is very light, tie 
are expecting the adult carry-over to be less than usual. 
(September 26) : Frequent jarrings in a number of peach- 
orchards since September 9 have netted a total of only 9 
adults. Evidently they left peach orchards in this locality 
unusually early for places of hibernation.

in general.
