 Dortjlus oriental is, West, (male), and a male Ponera which 

 smells strongly of mushrooms and comes in numbers to light, 

 but which cannot be determined. From this list I exclude 

 Mynnecocystxis viaticus, Fabr., and Mcssur barbarus, L., var. 

 punctatus, Forel, which are conspicuous North-West Province 

 species. The remaining species, or about 66 per cent., 

 would have to be sought for and " collected," and, unless by 

 chance, would hardly be noticed except by the specialist. 

 Further additions to my Bengal typical list will no doubt be 

 made by future collectors ; for just now, under the energetic and 

 able auspices of my friend Mr. E. C. Wroughton, of Poena, 

 Indian ants are " booming " ; but I do not think the Calcutta 

 district, situated just within the tropics and with a good rain- 

 fall, can ever' be considered as rich in variety of species for 

 its position. Dr. Forel has kindly made the following cor- 

 rections in a few of the names given in my paper, ' Notes on 

 Indian Ants,' read April 3rd, 1889, and which were those 

 affixed to my specimens by my old friend the late Frederick 

 Smith. 



Camponotus sijlvaticus, Oliv., should be C. niitis var. fusci- 

 thorax, Forel. 



Pseadoini/niie bicolor. Smith (Siina rufo-nigra, Jerdon) = 

 Sivia rufo-nigra, Jerdon. 



Siiiia carbonaria. Smith = Sima nigra, Jerdon (older name). 



Solenopsis geiiiinatus, Fab. = Solenopsis geminata. Fab., 

 var. armata, Forel. 



Dorylus longicornis, Shuck. = Dorylus orientalis, Westw. 

 (older name, 1835). 



Phigiolepis fjracilipes, Sm. = Plagiohpis longipes, JerdoU 

 (older name).
