nest of this species at a height of about 40 metres, placed in 

 the verv top of a tall Eucalyptus on the first horizontal place 

 between the main branches (Text Fig. 61). The duct leading 

 up from the ground is plainly visible at a good distance as 

 a dark line along the lighter trunk of the tree, which has 

 been killed by »ringbarkirig». 



My collections contain material of soldiers and workers 

 from the following localities: Adelaide (S. Australia), Bookvale, 

 Sydney (N. S. Wales), Mt. Tambourine, Christmas Creek, 

 Yandina, Blackal Range, Mapleton (S. Queensland), Cedar

18. Eutermes fumigatus Br. 



(Text Fig. 19.) 



Soldiers and workers taken at Perth (W. Australia) under 

 bark and at Mt. Lofty (S. Australia) under stones near the 

 roots of a tree. — Hitherto recorded only from N. South 

 Wales. 



My specimens agree in details with specimens determined 

 by Froggatt as E. fumigatus Br. 



As a variety of this species I preliminary refer a light- 

 headed species from Christmas Creek in South Queensland. 

 The soldiers have the same size, shape and colour of the 

 head, but the body is slightly larger.
