 between the sexes; most marked difference being in the optic apparatus, 

 etc.; the frontal gland may have arisen phylogenetically from the ancestral 

 median ocellus, now lacking, etc.; term "nymph" used to denote any devel-

 Nov., 1916. Rept. of the Entomologist. (Furniture and woodwork in houses 

 damaged by Eutermes morio and "Leucotermes"; the former cheaply and 

 effectively controlled by placing liberal quantities of any powdered arsenical 

 poison in the runways and nests. London purple gives quicker results than 

 Paris green, probably owing to the finer division of the particles. Leuco- 

 termes most effectively controlled by fumigation with hydrocyanic acid.)

 usual in Ceylon mound-building termites — facilitates closing after flight? 

 Soldiers and workers around exits to protect winged insects — to close exit. 

 Retiu-n of dealated male and female to nests, apparently before fertilization of 

 female).
