Abstract
At the suggestion of Professor Shelford, a series of experiments was undertaken to test the hypothesis that the enzyme catalase might be a determining factor in the dormant period of codling-moth larvae. The method devised by Professor Burge ('16) was used with a few minor modifications in determining the catalase content of the larvae. This method consists in collecting and measuring the oxygen gas liberated from neutral hydrogen-peroxide by the catalase present in the crushed larvae.
