The following is a list of the ants taken by, or obtained for, me 

 in the hot-houses at Kew since December 3rd last. I am indebted 

 to the kindness of Professor Forel for the names of most of the 

 species. In his last letter he writes " you have a large Fauna in 

 the houses at Kew." They are all my own captures except where 

 it is otherwise stated. Those marked with * are new to the Kew 

 published list (Bulletin, Additional Series V., 1906, p. 27).
