Conteúdo: 	In a test of the following hypotheses, the first was rejected and the second accepted. Rejected: (1) "The farther a freshly cleaned [pile of] palm nut[s] (endocarp) is placed from a fruiting parent, the lower will be the probability of the nut[s'] being found by a bruchid." Accepted: (2) "The larger the pile of freshly cleaned nuts ata a site where there is no parent, the more likely that it will be found by bruchids." The study was carried out in a palm forest in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, from March until July 1971. In addition to testing the above hypotheses, the study generated natural  history data on bruchid oviposition behavior, oviposition intensity, survivorship of the larvae, and development rate.
