Without leavin its cast the larva makes a slit half way down one side and inserts a triangular gore of new materfal. A similar fnsertion {1 made on the opposite side, and the Iarva reverces itself without leaving the omse and makes corresponding slits and additions in the other half. | '"The case is lengthened by successive | additions to either end.

When it feels its ond drawing near the Iarva ‘isually attaches its case to the garment or which it has been feeding but sometimes carries it elsewhere to be attached. About three weeks later the transformation is finished, and the moth emorges, ready to lay eggs for the produc- tion of a new generation. The eggs are lald in April, May June, acconling to the latitude, as a cer- tain warmth is required, and usually they are deposited directly on the gar- ment that ls to serve as the foragink fleld for the larva. The egEs are scarcely visible to the naked eye.

But if any eggs have Seen left in the gar- ments they will listeh, and the larva will promptly set to work.
