XX. Formicides de V Antille St. Vincent. Récoltées par 
Mons. H. H. Smith. Décrites par le Dr. AucusTE 
Foret, Professeur a l’Université de Ziirich. Com- 
municated by Dr. D. SHarp, M.A., F.R.S., on 
behalf of the Committee for Investigating the Fauna 
and Flora of the West Indian Islands. 
[Read October 4th, 1893.] 
(Tut Hymenoptera dealt with in this memoir were 
collected by Mr. H. H. Smith, who was sent to the West 
Indies by Mr. F. D. Godman, F.R.§., to assist the Com- 
mittee appointed by the British Association and the 
Royal Society to investigate the Fauna and Flora of the 
Antilles. The descriptions by Professor Forel are in the 
French language, the portions in English being the notes 
made by Mr. Smith at the time of the capture of the 
specimens. These notes are given in full, as it is thought 
that the precise localities in which the species were met 
with may be of interest to local naturalists. The num- 
bers attached to these notes are those under which Mr. 
Smith transmitted his specimens, and are referred to in 
connexion with Dr. Forel’s descriptions.—D. §.] 
Cette collection de fourmis a été récoltée avec le plus 
grand soin. M. H. H. Smith a pris la peine de prendre 
autant que possible les différents sexes et de séparer 
toujours les individus de la méme fourmilicre dans un 
tube a part. De plus il a recueilli des observations 
biologiques importantes qui donnent une grande valeur 
au résultat de ses chasses.
