  This 
  is 
  an 
  

   importation 
  from 
  Europe 
  and 
  is 
  known 
  as 
  the 
  "lawn 
  ant." 
  It 
  is 
  

   spreading 
  slowly, 
  but 
  will 
  probably 
  extend 
  throughout 
  the 
  State 
  be- 
  

   fore 
  long. 
  At 
  New 
  Brunswick 
  it 
  occurred 
  in 
  a 
  greenhouse, 
  damaging 
  

   £-ome 
  of 
  the 
  potted 
  plants. 
  

   There 
  are 
  three 
  species 
  of 
  "Strumigenys" 
  Sm., 
  which 
  almost 
  certainly 
  

   occur 
  in 
  the 
  State, 
  although 
  they 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  actually 
  found. 
  They 
  

   are 
  "S. 
  pergandei" 
  Emery, 
  "S. 
  pulchella" 
  Emery 
  and 
  "S. 
  clypeata" 
  Roger.

  the

  the 
  fungus 
  growing 
  ants 
  whose 
  range 
  

   extends 
  into 
  the
