These oviposited in the sissu billets in whichtheir parents and grandparents had been reared, and I obtained some ofthe beetles of the third generation in the third week of November, the billets being by then verydry, and consisting oflittle more than serves as a practicalproof of the heavy loss ofmaterial which obtains ina fuel depot when thebeetle is plentiful and thematerial is kept in situfor any length of time.
