Prof. Comstocks notes, taken while he was United States Entomolo-gist (1879), show that the larvae pupated in the vicinity of Washington,D. C, as early as May 19th, and the moths began emerging May is, therefore, possible that in the latitude of Washington and in theSouthern States there are two broods each season.
