3. Length of time spent in the pupal stage and where 
this stage is passed. 
4. Number of generations in the year. 
5. What other, if any, trees and plants this beetle feeds 
upon. This is important since the beetle is a fair- |

its appearance in the large central nursery recently 
formed near Poona, it would not unlikely commit 
considerable havoc amongst the young plants.
