Geometridae eggs are hatched, the hnvx begin to feed upon the young leaves, and they mature very quickly, the rate of their development being marked by a correspond- ing devastation of the plants upon which they have established them- selves. Pupation takes place at the end of May or in tile beginning of June. 'Ihc caterpillar bur- rows into the loose soil about the roots of the bushes, or simply crawls under loose leaves, and, without spinning a co- coon, undergoes transfor- mation into a chrysalis, which is smooth and of a shining mahogany color. In this state the insects remain for about two weeks, when they emerge as moths, and the cycle of life is repeated. The most effectual method of combating the larviE is to sprinkle the bushes with powdered white hellebore. This is a good remedy, not only for the species we are considering, but for several other insects which are likely to occur upon the plants at the same time. (2) Cymatophora inceptaria Walker.
