de lV Antille St. Vincent. 411 
(81 a). Wallilobo Valley (leeward), 500 ft. ; forest near 
a stream. Formicarium in very rotten wood; the pas- 
Sages extended through six or eight inches of the log, 
with several chambers, each about 1 x zin. The colony 
probably contained over 1000 individuals. Immature 
males were numerous. Only a few females could be 
found. Nov. 8th. 
(31 b). Hermitage Estate, Cumberland Valley, 1000 ft. 
Dec. Ist. Open hill-side near forest. Formicarium in 
a rotten stick on the ground. It extended irregularly 
through about 15 in. of the stick, with several chambers, 
each about $ in. long, and half as wide and high. The 
colony may have contained 500 individuals, the workers 
major being about one-tenth as numerous as the workers 
minor. There were many immature males in this nest, 
but I could find no female. 
(31 c). Same locality and situation as the last, in 
another log. The nest did not differ from No. 31 b, except 
that the chambers were rather larger ; the community 
probably contained over 1000 individuals. About twenty 
winged females were seen, but no males. 
(81d). Upper Richmond Valley, 1500 ft.; forest by a 
stream ; under rubbish near the water. No nest could 
be found. 
7. Pheidole flavens, Roger, v. vincentensis,n.v. SU? gs. 
(No. 86a a 862). 
2. Le quart postérieur de la téte lisse et luisant. Couleur variant 
du rouge jaundtre au roux brunatre, avec l’abdomen et les pattes 
plus clairs, d’un jaune plus ou moins brunatre. Pilosité de la téte 
et du thorax plus abondante, et, surtout celle du thorax, plus longue 
que chez le type. Epines du métanotum parfois presque aussi 
longues que la face basale, ou comme ses %. Le pronotum et le 
mésonotum forment une convexité trés courte et trés forte; ce 
dernier est presque verticalement tronqué derriére. L. 2 4 
2, 2 mill. 
%. Mémes différences que le 2. Couleur souvent d’un brun 4 
peine roussatre; téte et thorax trés mats, densément réticulés, 
ponctués, sauf l’épistome (a part les rides). 1.1, 5 mill. Ne con- 
naissant pas le type, je ne puis juger exactement des différences. 
D'aprés Roger, le 24 et l’ouvriére n’ont que des dents au métanotum 
d’aprés Mayr ce sont des épines. A cet égard, nos exemplaires 
correspondraient 4 ceux de Mayr.
