ANT COMMUNITIES 



strange and seemingly " unnatural" companionships 

 with alien creatures which have grown up in ant com- 

 munes. The literature thereof is already large, and is 

 continually growing as entomologists push their in- 

 vestigations more widely and carefully. It would be 

 impossible to present here an abstract of even a tithe of 

 the known facts, but from the typical ones which have 

 been chosen the reader may fairly judge of the general 

 tenor of the rest.
