de V Antille St. Vincent. 389 
The workers move about singly, or four or five follow 
each other in a line; they cannot walk rapidly. 
N.B.—Differs from No. 10 not only in colour, but in 
the proportion of joints of the antenne. 
(27a). About the house at Golden Grove (leeward), 
300 ft. October. Many were found on a bird-skin, 
which was in course of drying. 
(27 b). Golden Grove, Nov. 9th; evening. Crawling 
ona table. It was not attended by workers. 
(27 c). Note lost. Probably from the same formi- 
carium. 
(27 d). Golden Grove Estate (leeward), 3800ft. Dec. 
14th. Formicarium found in a package of glass col- 
lection bottles or tubes, which had been packed away on 
a shelf ina dark corner. The ants had made their way 
through the cork stoppers of two of the tubes, and in 
these tubes they kept the larve. In one of the bottles 
were numerous wingless females and a few males; in 
another there were also winged females. The paper in 
which the tubes were wrapped was also full of ants, 
including numerous males and females. The colony 
must have consisted of at least five thousand ants. The 
number of wingless females was remarkable, the pro- 
portion to workers found in the nest being, I should 
suppose, one to ten or twelve; but a portion of the 
workers may have been out foraging. Only a small 
number comparatively of the different forms were saved. 
There were few larve and pupe ; males very numerous. 
(27 e). Near Kingstown; open valley, 500 ft. Oct. 
27th. A female found alone under a log. 
(27). Windward side; bank near the seashore, north 
of Georgetown ; underastone. Jan. 3rd. Several nests 
of this species were found on the windward side. 
These ants are often found in water-jars. Whether 
alive or dead, they always float on the surface of the 
water, if washed into it.
