de lV Antille St. Vincent. O77 
an inch high; with them are larve, and sometimes 
males, but I have found no females. The workers are 
very sluggish, hardly moving when the nest is disturbed ; 
so that they may be picked out one by one with the for- 
ceps. The males are more active. The cavities in 
which these ants are found are always black inside as if 
with some fungoid growth. Occasionally these ants make 
nests at the roots of grass, cc. 
(24a). Near Palmyra Estate (leeward), Nov. 3rd, 
1000 ft. Open field near a stream, in a half-rotted log. 
The ants were found thickly crowded in a small cavity 
of a knot, well in from the surface; I could not discover 
the entrance. All that I could find were taken, and I 
think few were lost. The log was split up without finding 
others. 
(24b). Fitz-Hugh Valley (leeward); shady place, 
500 ft., Nov. 4th, ina log. There were two adjoining 
chambers, apparently of the same colony. The males 
in one chamber were more mature. 
(24 c). Forest, Morne & Garou, 1500 ft. Oct. 27th. 
Found on a leathery fungus growing on log. 
(24d). Fitz-Hugh Valley. Near No. 24b. Noy. 4th. 
Under rotting banana-leaves on a stone. 
(24 e). Bowwood Valley, near Kingstown, 600 ft. Oct. 
15th. Clearing; scattered under the bark of a decaying 
log. 
(247). Petit Bordelle Valley, 1200 ft. Nov. 13th. 
Shady banks of stream; under sod on a rock. From 
some confusion in the notes I cannot describe the formi- 
carium. 
I have found workers of these ants foraging in the 
daytime in a dark outhouse. Golden Grove Estate (lee- 
ward), 3800 ft. They move about slowly. 
2. Strumigenys vmitator, Mayr. (No. 26a, unicum). %.

leaves ; forest or shady places.
