golden pubescence. The ants in moist places usually show little 

 or no pubescence. 



Wheeler (23) here gives some habitat data along with a descrip- 

 tion of a new variety of Formica fusca. He found this new variety 

 in a peat-bog near Petersham, Mass. The author also gives a 

 list of the ants one is likely to find in the cold bogs of the Northern 

 United States, and British America.
