In this table, I have considered the 6th egg-case 
of N° 125 as a part of the 7th which thus becomes the 
6th and so the later ones go back one place in the table. 
The egg-case numbered 10 in this table was laid on 
September 16th and from that date onward the effect 
of the cold becomes visible, but the nine egg-cases laid 
during August and the first part of September were 
laid at intervals almost identical with the normal ones 
of N° 16 and N° 88, giving further evidence of the 
unity of the two portions of egg-cases originally label¬ 
led separately. 
This table also shows more clearly the relative 
slowness of N° 25 , more especially when compared 
with the relative quickness of N° 17. From the point 
of view of fertility, N° 25 with 7 egg-cases less than 
N° 17 gives 957 young as against 862. It is therefore 
impossible to consider the number of egg-cases or 
the average intervals between ovipositions as a measure 
of efficiency. 
From the evidence given above, it might be de¬ 
duced that a second copulation — whether before or
