3é. L.38,2438,3 mill. Se distingue nettement de la P. fulva 
i. sp. par ses valvules génitales extérieures plus grandes, plus larges 
& Vextrémité et couvertes d’une touffe épaisse de longs poils trés 
forts. Chez la P. fulva i. sp., les valvules génit. ext. ne sont que 
médiocrement poilues, comme chez les espéces voisines. Les 
autres valvules génitales sont identiques 4 celles de la fulva i. sp., 
mais le prolongement interne n’a pas trace de bec. 
Le caractére des valvules génitales extérieures du 3

(53). Local and rather rare. It appears to be confined to 
the seashore, or to open land not far from the sea. The 
communities are large, consisting of several hundred, or 
even thousand, individuals. The formicarium is gene- 
rally in rather damp and soft ground, sheltered by a 
stone or log. There are one or two chambers several 
inches long immediately under this shelter, with pas- 
sages leading down four or five inches to one or more 
chambers below. At the sides of the shelter there may 
be short passages among the roots of grass, &c. The 
workers and males are very active, the females less so. 
The workers are sometimes found on foliage in seashore 
thickets. 
(58a). Near Kingstown, Oct. 17th. Damp spot in an 
open cane-field, about 250 ft. above the sea. Several

in this bottle were obtained near Wallibou (leeward), 
Oct. 8th. Seashore thickets, on foliage.

(58e). Windward. Open bed of the Dry River, near the 
sea; sandy and somewhat dry soil, undera stone. The 
nest was made deeper than usual, about eight inches 
below the surface, probably to reach soil which contained 
more moisture. ‘The community consisted of a few 
hundreds only. Jan. 2nd.
