(86a). Islet fronting Chateaubelais Bay (leeward), 
Oct. 81st. Rocky ground overlooking sea; in thickets. 
Formicarium in a rotten stump. 
(36b). Southern end of the island; thickets near sea 
at the Villa Estate. Oct. 14th. A large colony (several 
thousand) in rubbish under stones and blocks of coral. 
(86 c). Near Palmyra Estate (leeward), 1000 ft. Nov. 
3rd. The workers are from two formicaria in neigh- 
bouring logs; open field near a stream. The com- 
munities were both large. I copy from my field-note :— 
**Under the log are passages and considerable cham- 
bers (14 x 2 in.), walled in with a rather tough material 
formed of wood-fibre. Small holes ; in.) lead perpen- 
dicularly into the log, sometimes two or three inches, to 
many chambers, each about one inch long; in these are 
the larve and workers major. Only one female was 
found after long search. Perhaps the ants utilise the 
borings of beetles for their passages into the wood. The 
logs were only partly decayed, and rather hard.”
