Whim: Ants ■" as .MrsiiKooM-tiRowKKS. 



The termites — erroneously known as white ants — also have their mushroom beds, and they cut grass and gather leaves to assist in their 

 composition. In the drawing they may be seen on an enlarged scale issuing from their tunnels and gathering the mushrooms in the 

 chambers allotted for their culture.
