LIV.—New Ants from Australia. 
By W. C. Craw ey, B.A., F.K.S., F.R.M.S. 
THis paper deals, with one or two exceptions, with ants 
collected by Mr. J. Clark in Western Australia, principally 
in the Perth district. In addition to new species, races, and 
varieties, we have been able, thanks to Mr. Clark’s very 
thorough collecting, to add descriptions of many males and 
females of species the workers of which were hitherto only 
known, 
Opportunity has been taken to re-describe some of F. 
Smith’s much discussed types, as a good deal of misappre- 
hension has existed among foreign myrmecologists who have 
been unable to see the types themselves. 
I am indebted to my friend, Professor Carlo Emery, for 
his unfailing kindness in giving me the benefit of his know- 
ledge in doubtful cases.
