de lV’ Antille St. Vincent. 397 
sandy soil. Oct. 8th. The main nest was under a large 
stone. 
(48 b). Fitz-Hugh Valley (leeward), 500 ft.; open 
place near stream. A large nest under sod and vines on 
a rock. 
(48 d). Fitz-Hugh Valley (leeward), 500 ft. Nov. 4th. 
Open place. A female found alone in a small cavity of 
rotten wood. 
(48 e). Golden Grove (leeward), 300 ft. June. Workers 
found about the house. 
(48f/). Workers from various localities on the leeward 
side and southern end of the island, below 1500 ft. ; 
open places. Some found at the ends of their tunnels, 
under stones; others on foliage, on the flowers of 
Croton, &e¢. 
(48 g). Southern end of the island; Villa Estate, near 
the seashore; dry hill-side; at the end of a tunnel under 
astone. Oct. 14th. 
(48 h). Near Palmyra Estate (leeward), 1000 ft. Nov. 
4th. Open hill-side. A formicary or end of a tunnel, 
partly under a stone. The ants had formed a small 
mound at the side of the stone, with the earth brought

not the main nest, though the ants and larve were 
numerous.

Nov. 8th. From extensive passages under sod and 
stones. 
- (487). Camden Park Estate (leeward, near Kings- 
town), Nov. 19th; seashore, at the root of atree. A 
large colony. The ants had passages on the tree-trunk, 
following the lines of crevices, and formed roughly of 
bits of wood-fibre. 
The tunnels of these ants are made very near the 
surface of the ground, and are generally partly open, 
either because the surface has fallen in; or because the 
passage is not necessarily a covered one; hence these 
passages can easily be traced. 
(48k). Nov. 23rd. Golden Grove (leeward), 300 ft. 
Many thousands appeared in the upper room of the 
house, near sunset, in a corner near a window. They 
had at least a hundred males, which they let loose near 
the window. It was curious to see the workers drag the
