The most southerly location in the United States from which we have records of this species is Victoria, Tex., in the southwest, and around Hampton, Fla., in the southeast. At the latter place the insect has been found very abundantly and it constitutes a very serious pest to peach growers. At Deland, Fla., to which is adjacent a considerable peach-growing industry, no trace of the insect could be discovered, although it should undoubtedly thrive in that locality. These observations, however, were made in 1905 and the insect in the meantime may have become established there. DISTRIBUTION OF THE CURCULIO ACCORDING TO LIFE ZONES. From the foregoing discussion it will be noted that the plum curculio is present in the humid area in all of the life zones except the Tropical. It is most abundant and destructive, however, in the 7^. Fig. 4.—Map showing by the shaded area the distribution of the plum curculio. (Original.) Upper and Lower Austral Zones. While generally present tlirough- out the Transition Zone it would ap])ear to be much less of a pest than to the southward. Sufficient data are not at hand to indicate its relative importance in the Canadian Zone, though it is probably occasionally quite destructive, as indicated by the observations of Dr. F
