  Ants 
  whose 
  black 
  colour 
  is 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  their 
  particular 
  charac- 
  

   teristic 
  ; 
  since, 
  however, 
  my 
  leisure 
  has 
  not 
  allowed 
  me 
  to 
  investigate 
  

   them 
  further 
  and 
  since 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  able 
  as 
  yet 
  to 
  come 
  across 
  the 
  

   queen, 
  this 
  remains 
  deferred 
  until 
  the 
  future. 
  

  

  Should 
  anyone 
  wish 
  to 
  improve 
  on 
  my 
  observations, 
  I 
  shall 
  be 
  glad 
  

   to 
  acknowledge 
  this 
  and 
  beg 
  him 
  to 
  authenticate 
  any 
  corrections 
  under 
  

   his 
  own 
  name. 
  My 
  circumstances 
  have 
  hindered 
  me 
  greatly 
  in 
  observing 
  

   with 
  precision 
  ; 
  and, 
  if 
  I 
  myself 
  should 
  find 
  any 
  errors, 
  I 
  shall 
  be 
  ready 
  

   to 
  point 
  these 
  out 
  with 
  all 
  sincerity 
  in 
  the 
  future.
