Introduction by EK. B. Poutton, F.R.S. 
A FEW specimens of four species of ants taken by the 
present writer near Barcelona in 1900 are included in this 
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 
peculiarity 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. Halictus dubitabilis. 
No other new species is described from the mainland, 
although both lists contain forms which may be new, but
