Catch-up in body weight, nose-rump length and tail length has been examined in male rats. At birth, pups from several females were pooled and reallocated to provide litters of 16 pups. In group 1, the number was reduced to 8 at day 8, in group 2 on day 15, group 3 were raised in large litters until weaning. Animals reared in litters of 8 were termed controls. All animals were weaned at 22 days, placed two to a cage and provided with food and water ad libitum. They were examined at intervals to day 120. Animals rehabilitated at 8 days had caught up in body weight and 97% of the length of controls on day 120. Rats rehabilitated on day 22 were 88% of the body weight and 97% of the body length of the controls at 120 days. None of the experimental groups achieved the same tail length as the controls. It was concluded that the data do not support the "time tally" mechanism of catch-up growth. This may be due to early timing of the experiment or an oversimplification of the mechanism. It was also concluded that catch-up following neonatal undernutrition in rats is greatly influenced by the normal growth pattern.

Eight potential oviposition attractants were evaluated for gravid Culex tarsalis and Cx. quinquefasciatus under insectary, outdoor cage and field conditions. With the possible exception of a steer manure infusion under insectary conditions, none of the media consistently attracted large numbers of gravid Cx. tarsalis females. Reiter medium, steer manure infusion, cattle feces and Bermuda sod were attractive to gravid Cx. quinquefasciatus. Catch size at CDC gravid traps and oviposition traps were sensitive to the number of competitive oviposition sites and trap placement.
