Introduction by E. B. Poulton, F.R.S. 



A TEW specimens of four species of ants taken by the 

 present writer near Barcelona in 1900 are included in tliis 

 section, as well as the captures on July 17, 1901, at 

 Cerbere, the French frontier station at the east end of 

 the Pyrenees. 



The number of specimens submitted to Mr. Saunders 

 was much smaller than in the case of Majorca, being 1491 

 in the first instance, together with 187 which were looked 

 upon as duplicates. The numbers from the various 

 localities are as follows (see Table, p. 625) — 



The number of specimens is thus considerably less than 

 half those captured in Majorca (June 26 to July 12,1901). 

 On the other hand, the number of species from the main- 

 land recognized by Mr. Saunders is far greater, being 205 

 as compared with 143. This marked difference is no 

 doubt in part due to the wider range covered both in 

 space and time on the mainland ; but making all allow- 

 ances it is probably chiefly the result of the more limited 

 number of species in the island fauna. The relative 

 pecuharity of the latter is also well seen in the fact that 

 five of its species are described as new, and of these one 

 only occurs in the mainland list, viz. Halidus duhitahilis. 

 No other new species is described from the mainland, 

 although both lists contain forms which may be new, but
