APIS. (**. e. 2.) ^35 



pect one of the three species that I have described 

 last, to be the male of that which I am next to 

 notice, but as I know not which to fix upon, I 

 must leave that point undecided till I can meet 

 with the nidus. These three exactly resemble 

 each other in form and habit, differing only in the 

 colour of their hirsuties, whence a suspicion arises 

 in my mind, that after all they, may turn out to be 

 varieties only of the same spe^es.
