The following is substantially the author's summary. In experiments in whichTetranychus multisetisMcG. was reared on ripe fruits of banana squash, dense populations resulted in a lower egg production per female and a higher proportion of non-viable eggs than occurred in a sparse population. The reduced number of eggs per female was noted before and the increase in non-viable eggs after the maximum population was reached. There was also definite mortality among the young mites as a result of crowding. Concentration in small areas usually makes an arthropod more vulnerable to attack by predators, but it is believed that the webbing produced by these mites affords enough protection to offset this disadvantage.
