The Rev. N. Coleman, of Berlin, Conn., notes in the New England Zoological Quarterly the following :

" As is well known, the early brood of the Codling moth, Carpocapsa pomonella, pass through all their changes in a comparatively short period, while the late brood do not produce the imago till the next spring. It is not so well known, probably, that the late brood remain in the larval state till spring. From some observations made the past season it seems certain that this is the case. While looking after Canker-worm moths, November 29, 1881, I found a cocoon of a Codling-moth under a piece of bark on an apple tree; and on opening it the larva was found to be unchanged. Another cocoon was found April 25, 1882, and on examination the larva in this was still unchanged. Just how much longer it would have continued in the larval state is a question I cannot now answer."
