AND R.* BY GEORGE E. SANDERS, , Field Officer Entomological Branch, Bridgetown, Nova Scotia. In working with Xylina bethunei G. & R. the most common fruit worm or apple worm in Nova Scotia at the Dominion Entomo- logical Laboratory at Bridgetown, N. S., in 1913, it was found that the best place to collect 5th and 6th stage larvse was in the leaves about the cocoons of Malacosoma disstria. On opening a few of these cocoons the pupa contained were in some cases found to be partly eaten. A rough opening having been partly eaten and partly stretched through the cocoon from l/3 to ^' of the contained pupa had been devoured. Later on several larvae were found in the act of eating into the cocoons or devouring the con- tained pupa. On July 8, 9, 10, 1913, 160 cocoons of M. disstria were collected from apple trees near the laboratory and 45 of *Contribution from the Entomological Branch, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.
