Aerial spraying experiments were carried out against the black-headed budworm, Acleris variana (Fern.), to determine the effectiveness of DDT sprays against the different larval stages, dosage requirements, and time of application. Two series of plots were sprayed, the first against the early-instar larvae and the second against late-instar larvae. Each series received dosages of 1 pound of DDT per Imperial gallon per acre and ½ pound DDT per ½ gallon per acre.Excellent control of larvae in all stages was obtained by the two dosage rates. The degree of control was more closely related to droplet density than to dosage. The best time to begin spraying for maximum foliage protection is when the majority of larvae are in the second instar.

Thirty-one species of eutardigrades were collected on five mountains on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, during July 1986 and July 1987. Three of the species found were new to science, including 1 species, Platicrista cheleusis n.sp., described herein and 2 species described elsewhere, and 21 others are new to British Columbia; 13 of these are also new to Canada.
