from which tunnels lead downward; and these ants are 
always found in the tunnels. The mounds may be two 
feet in diameter, and a foot high, indicating extensive 
works, from which the earth is taken. Mingled with the 
earth there are nearly always quantities of small flowers, 
probably picked up on the ground when they fell from 
trees ; great quantities of the flowers are also frequently 
seen under the stones and logs, where the ants are found 
with their pupe. I have not seen the ants gathering 
these flowers, and judge that they collect them at night. 
(5). Rather rare; distinct from No 4. All seem more 
like the specimens sent. 
(5a). Thickets by sea-shore at the ‘ Villa” Estate ; 
southern end of the island. Oct. 14th. Under a stone 
in loamy sand at the root of a tree. About forty indi- 
viduals in the nest, apparently all workers; they had 
many larve, which, when disturbed, were carried to deep 
passages under the stone. 
(5b). Richmond Estate (leeward); open valley near 
sea-level. Oct. 31st. Under a log. Apparently a 
formicarium, but I could find no winged ones. 
(5c). Fitz-Hugh Estate (leeward), Nov. 13th. Open 
place near sea-level; under a stone. Only a few ants 
seen. 
(5d). Windward side; shady bed of Dry River ; near 
the sea. Jan. 2nd. Under a stone. The species is 
common along the windward coast, under stones and 
logs. The communities apparently are not large; but, 
like No. 4, this species seems to make extensive under- 
ground works, with outlets under stones and logs. 
(6 a). These males, as I suppose, belong to No. 4 or 5; 
they came to light at night. Golden Grove Kstate 
(leeward), 500 ft. The date was lost, but if my memory 
serves, they were taken in July or August. 
(6b). Forest, Morne 4 Garou, 2000 ft. Nov. Ist. 
Beaten from foliage. No 4 is common in this forest. 
(15a). Richmond Estate; open valley near sea-level. 
Oct. 81st. A single specimen found under a log. Many 
workers of No. 4 were under the same log. 
(15b). Near the Wallibou River (leeward), 500 ft. 
Jan. 10th. Open damp hill-side. Found alone under 
a stone.
