In present study, radioautography and electron-microscopy were applied by the author to the elucidation of the mechanism of diapause in Bombyx mori L. (1). Patterns of nucleic acid and protein syntheses during embryonic development of silkworms, incubated at high and at low temperatures, were demonstrated by means of radioautography with labelled precursors of nucleic acid and protein. On the third day after blastokinesis the embryo incubated at high temperature generally incorporated much of the $^3$H-glycine into the brain and the suboesophageal ganglion, and some into other regions. When incubated at low temperature, no difference in the pattern between the brain, the suboesophageal ganglion and other parts was observed. Radioautography with $^3$H-thymidine revealed no significant difference in DNA synthesis in embryos incubated at high and low temperatures. In diapausing eggs twenty days after deposition, only a few cells of the mesoderm incorporated the labelled material into their nuclei, but in the hibernated eggs all the nuclei of the mesoderm had thymidine incorporation. After blastokinesis only the anterior portion of the embryo around the brain and the suboesophageal ganglion had thymidine incorporation; this was not observed in the posterior portion.

We investigated starvation of hatching larvae, occasional artificial hatching and incubation method to establish year-round rearing of the wild silkmoth, Antheraea yamamai. In the test of starvation of hatching larvae for brushing at a time, the survival rate of the fourth instar of larvae starved for 1 day after hatching in $25^{\circ}C\;and\;5^{\circ}C$ was 83.3% and 96.0%, respectively. The result represents that the survival rate is high at low temperature during starvation. In the occasional artificial hatching test for multi-times rearing of A. yamamai, the useful hatchability is high at $5^{\circ}C$ in case of preserving eggs for 2 months from incubation time, and at both $2.5^{\circ}C\;and\;0^{\circ}C$ in case of over 6 months. A new incubation method with pre-incubation at $15^{\circ}C$ and 24 D photoperiod showed high hatchability about 80% for only 2 days compared with hatching for 5-6 days in traditional incubation method with the preservation at $25^{\circ}C$.
